With the development of globalization and the emergence of English as a lingua franca, China’s English curriculum standards of general high school propose “cultural awareness” as one of the core competencies, aiming to cultivate socialist builders and successors with Chinese sentiment, international vision, and intercultural communication skills. However, how to effectively practice cultural teaching and cultivate students’ cultural awareness in high school is affected by many factors, such as the overemphasis on linguistic knowledge rather than cultural knowledge. This paper explores strategies for high school English cultural teaching through the lens of English learning activity theory, aiming to offer front-line teachers innovative teaching concepts and methods to enhance the effectiveness of cultural teaching.
