2017届福建省光泽第一中学高中英语教师论文：《A Study on Culture Teaching in Senior English Class》

　　Firstly, the first three questions in teachers’ questionnaire and the first two questions in students’ questionnaire can be divided into the part of the current statue of culture teaching and learning. According to the results, the importance have been recognized, for all the teachers in the survey choose “Yes” in question 1 and only 2.4% of the students think it is unimportant. However, it seems most teachers are not positive about the situation of current culture teaching. As the results show, only 7. 4% of teachers think culture teaching is given enough attention in current English teaching and the same percentage of teachers think the currently available courses are sufficient for the students to acquire the foreign culture. In general, the statue of culture instruction has risen greatly since the new curriculum standard was carried out.

　　Secondly, questions 4, 5, 8 and 9 in teachers’ questionnaire and questions 5, 7 and 10 in students’ questionnaire belong to the questions that concern the current methods and strategies in culture teaching and learning. Although most teachers are aware of the importance of culture instruction, they have not realized it in their class. Based on the statistics above, we can not be optimistic about the current condition of using methods to instruct culture in teaching practice. More teachers agree that the better way to instruct culture to the students is incorporating with the textbook, but only 3.7% of teachers satisfy with the textbooks in use on providing culture elements. Obviously, most teachers have not formed their own understanding of culture teaching and their own style of teaching culture. As the result, the effect can not be satisfactory. Fortunately, most teachers consider the related cultural elements when preparing lessons and compare the differences between Chinese and English sometimes. And it is glad to find out that 96.3% of teachers instruct culture through in-class learning, after-class reading or assign culture learning tasks. As for students, we can know from the survey that most of them do not satisfy with what they have learnt in class and expect to learn more about culture. The most popular ways for them to learn more are movies and TV programs, the second one is English magazines and newspapers. However, 36.1% of them do not learn more through any way. Teachers may get inspiration from students’ way of learning after class, and induce some cuts of TV programs or induce some interesting articles from English newspapers to the class. Anyway, teachers’ understanding and practice in inducing culture in class is immature. Therefore, there is large room for improvement.
