Causes and Countermeasures of English Culture Deficiency in College English Language Teaching

Abstract

Culture is the embodiment of national spirit, and language is one of the important carriers of culture, which is the most intuitive way to reflect culture. College English, which aims at cultivating students' comprehensive English application ability, is an important compulsory course in college. However, in the process of English application, due to the huge differences between China and the west in geographical conditions, climate and other conditions, the cultures formed by the two sides are also very different from each other. Therefore, misunderstanding of individual words and sentences may easily occur in the process of English application, leading to misunderstanding between the two sides. Some universities propose to introduce English culture into English teaching. Based on the importance of English culture in college English language teaching, this paper analyzes the reasons for the lack of English culture in college English language teaching and the corresponding countermeasures.
