Abstract

With the implementation and deepening of new curriculum reform, the English teaching quality must meet a higher demand. English teaching is an important and difficult part in the field of education in our country. Due to long-term focus on imparting of language knowledge itself but ignorance of culture teaching, most of the college students’ cross-cultural awareness in our country is relatively weak. In English communication, students are likely to make various mistakes or behave disrespectfully in cross-cultural communication due to their miscomprehension of culture background of language. So it is obvious that fostering students' cross-cultural awareness is of great significance in college English teaching process. This paper carries on a simple analytical study on the main approach to cultivate students’ cross-cultural awareness in college English teaching.
