Abstract: Under the trend of global integration, English, as the most widely used language in the world, is an
important carrier of international communication and scientific, technological, and cultural exchanges,
and English teaching has also received more attention. English teaching should not only develop
students' language skills, but also impart different cultural knowledge, promote students' identification
and understanding of different cultures, and effectively communicate with people from different
cultural backgrounds. While learning the language, is also learning culture. As an important medium
for language learners to learn the language, the selection and application of cultural content in foreign
language textbooks have become particularly important. To some extent, it guides the way students
think in language and the value orientation of multiculturalism. Therefore, this paper selects the foreign
research version of a junior high school English textbook as the research object, attempts to analyze
the selection of cultural content in the textbook reading materials, points out the problems in the
selection of cultural content in the textbook, and puts forward suggestions for improvement, providing
reference basis for the future use and compilation of the textbook. |
