Abstract

Culture and language complement each other, which are two important aspects of English reading. Based on schema theory and the theory of cross-cultural communication, this paper investigates the influence of the lack of language and cultural knowledge on the ability of English reading. Aiming at the problems, it puts forward some strategies for the infiltration of language and cultural knowledge, such as cultivating the ability of thinking and interpreting the meaning of words and sentences, establishing a correct concept of cultural differences and comparing the cultural connotations of China and the west, making plans and accumulating cultural knowledge based on historical development and regional distribution.
