Abstract

Communicating and thinking capabilities in cross-cultural contexts are playing an important role in future standardized human education judgments under the background of globalization. On the basis of foreign languages teaching activities, we not only train students' capabilities of mastering languages including English, but also enhance their cultural views so as to out-reach the goal of outputting more high-educated people. In this paper, accordingly, we present a kind of social-communication-schema-based teaching mode that increases students' cultural capabilities through culture-type English courses learning in class. Schemas such as fact-and-concept schema, context schema, strategic schema and interactive activities among them are mainly used for constructing a teaching-and-study ecological system in assist of the students training.
