基于高级英语课文内容的比较文化教学研究

The teaching of comparative culture based on the content of Advanced English texts

基于内容的比较文化教学，是指在英语专业的高级英语课程教学中，将课文内容进行跨文化和比较文化的编制、解读，充分利用课文内容引导学习者进行文化学习、文化思考和文化比较。这种教学是在教授课文的语言文字的基础上，引导学生充分探索、理解英语课文内容所承载的丰富、生动的英语国家的文化元素及其所表现的文化形态，并在此基础上将这些文化元素和文化形态与本土的、现实的文化元素和文化形态进行比较和对比，引导学生发现不同文化间的共融和冲突，从而达到深刻理解文化、提升文化素养的目的。这种教学避免了直接输入的文化教学中的弊端，并使英语专业的文化教学更倾向于、有利于学生本土意识的培养。
