ABSTRACT

English teaching in China has attached too much importance to the input of the target language culture, while neglecting our native culture. As a result, students cannot express Chinese culture in English, completely separating Chinese culture from English learning, leading to the serious native culture aphasia. This paper not only analyzes the reasons for this phenomenon from the aspects of curriculum setting, learning motivation, and teachers’ quality, but also explains the necessity of integrating Chinese native culture in English teaching. On this basis, effective solutions are put forward from the perspective of classroom teaching, textbook compilation, curriculum arrangement, and so on.

KEYWORDS

mother tongue aphasia, native culture, compensation strategies, communicative approaches
