跨文化交流和第二语言学习(三)

2. In the second language vocabulary learning

2.1 授课教育观念转变，营造良好的语言学习氛围To change the concept of teaching, to create a good language

   learning environment 

        To change the traditional concept of vocabulary teaching, teachers should

change the traditional concept of vocabulary. Vocabulary is a collection of a lot of

prefabricated chunks (perfabircatedchunks),distributed in a continuous spectrumofgenerativepower, which is a completely freeand completely fixed. Vocabulary has a profound cultural connotation, so vocabulary teaching is not just 

referring to the words, remember the words and use the words to write sentences. In vocabulary teaching, the teacher should integrate culture teaching, excavate the 

cultural meaning of vocabulary, and strengthen the vocabulary of deep learning. In China's current teaching system, foreign language teaching is mostly in the classroom, the examination oriented education requires the entrance rate, teaching 

content or teaching content, light cultural knowledge, the students' understanding 

of the language behind the superficial meaning, it is difficult to get the ability to cultivate intercultural communication. For this, teachers must change their ideas, and realize the importance of Chinese and  Western cultural differences and to cultivate students' intercultural communicative competence. At the same time, teachers should strengthentheir study, improve their own cultural quality, obtain different cultural information, summarize the rich cultural background, guide students to compare the differences between Chinese and Western culture, to appreciate and identify foreign culture, and apply it to the communicative language. For example,the distinction between English and Chinese is not very different from the classification of basic colors. Chinese in the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, red, white, black, green, a variety of colors for different peoples, in the visual and psychological cause of the association and the symbol is not the same. In China due to the white is a symbol of death, meaning of ill omen, is people's a taboo word, reflects the Chinese people in the material and spiritual abandon and disgusting, while the Westerners think the elegant and pure white, so 

it is in western culture advocating color. It is a symbol of innocence, such as white soul a pure heart, (2) wedding white bride wear white wedding dress.

2.2 Using interest class, organize students to watch the film to carry

on Vocabulary Learning 

   Chinese people learn English because of lack of language environment, although some people test scores are high, but the comprehensive ability of students to use English is not good enough, especially in language communication, can not speak authentic spoken English; because of cultural differences in language exchange process, can be a cultural conflict and misunderstanding. Learners should develop a good cross-cultural awareness, improve cross-cultural communication skills, the time is not enough to rely on theclassroom. Therefore, teachers should promote the cultivation of intercultural awareness after class. Such as: the organization of students to watch the difficulty, the theme of the film is suitable for the cultivation of students' language and culture is very helpful. Middle school students should read some cartoons and the campus life, the film audience most are middle school students or children in Europe and the United States, moderate speed in film dialogues, lines are more easily to be understood, theme is very clear, such as "Tom ic energy" "the lion king" "home alone" "Freaky Friday" and other classic films. The film reflects the typical American social culture: the cultivation of children's independence, the courage to take risks, and good at communication. Learning language through the cultural level, we can also dig out the social customs, communication, religion,belief and so on, which is closely related to the American society. Through the language to learn culture, so that the cultivation of language ability to get sublimation.

2.3 Using the Internet or library to access the vocabulary learning

      Computer aided language learning has become a new mode of English

learning. The traditional English learning, usually in the classroom from the teacher's teaching in, although by other means, such as tape recorders, projectors, video recorder, etc., but the effect is not ideal, use the Internet or library access to the western culture is the embodiment of students' autonomous learning ability, but also enable the students to experience learning of pride. For example, guest polite talk, Chinese modest attention in communication with the people, emphasizes "inferior oneself reveres people", see this as a virtue, which is a rich Chinese cultural characteristics of the phenomenon of politeness. When others praise us, we tend to self –down, with a table of modesty. Western countries do not have such a cultural habit, when they are praised, the association is pleased to say "you Thank" to accept. Due to the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture, we think that Westerners are too self-confident, without modesty; and when Westerners hear Chinese people thus deny others of their tribute or hear their denial of their own achievements, and even the themselves as worthless, feel very surprised, that the Chinese people are dishonest. Zhang Zhongzai, a famous language expert, said that the language of language and culture is not divided. Through the culture of linguistics and English language, through the cultural language to read a wide range of subjects (history, literature, biography, technology, economy,politics, military and so on), at the same time to improve the language level of knowledge, and to learn the essence of another culture. In English class, the students have great interest in the Chinese and foreign culture and customs, with the help of network information, language and cultural knowledge in a timely manner.

  second language learning

       The relationship between language teaching and culture teaching is a hot topic among people in our country.

words, to promote the second language learning 

       In cross cultural communication, it is not only a clear understanding of cultural differences, but also willing to accept and correct treatment of cultural differences, which is the prerequisite for effective cross-cultural communication. Cross cultural exchanges and the second language teaching closely related. In the second language learning, we must pay attention to the cross-cultural communication, and the cultural factors into every aspect of language teaching. Deal with the relationship between classroom teaching and extracurricular communication, through helping students to enhance their cross-cultural awareness in order to cultivate their ability to communicate effectively with people of various cultural backgrounds.

So as to enhance the practical ability of language use, to cultivate the awareness and ability of cross-cultural communication, and through the library and the network and other resources to learn English, to create autonomous learning conditions for students to truly achieve the quality education in English Teaching in middle schools.
