Another concept holds that cultural teaching is the teaching of cultural knowledge, which completely equates culture with cultural knowledge. In the actual cultural teaching, the simple description and generalization of the purpose is localized, which leads to the cultural stereotype. Overgeneralization of groups replaces specific observation and analysis of individuals, and lack of multi-angle and multi-level explanation of cultural and social reasons behind cultural stereotypes will inevitably exaggerate group differences and ignore individual differences. Although knowing the information of the members of the target language community is an important part of cultural teaching, cultural teaching is not a simple information transmission. Cultural teaching under the guidance of this concept is strong in indoctrination and weak in inspiration, and lacks the interaction between culture and learners themselves.

Although culture has been paid more and more attention in foreign language teaching, most educators still regard culture as a skill for those learners who are interested in getting familiar with the history and life of the target language community, rather than an indispensable part of the communicative competence and cultural awareness that every learner should cultivate.

3. The goal of culture teaching

The purpose of cultural teaching is to enhance students' awareness and curiosity about target localization and local localization. The so-called cultural awareness refers to the awareness of cultural diversity and tolerance of differences, the empathy of members of a culture, and the understanding and reflection of their own cultural values and behaviors. It is easy to ignore the cultivation of mother tongue consciousness. It is necessary for educators to improve their mother tongue awareness and discuss culture by providing students with the original language; Cultivate the objectivity of reason in cross-cultural analysis.

Whether it is explaining the geographical environment, cultural history, literary achievements and details of daily life of the target language country, or preaching customs, ceremonies, festivals and other events, cultural learning becomes boring and ineffective. What teachers should do is to point out the way and present the reality about culture, rather than point out the specific way of looking at things; Put some elements of the target language in the first place, pay attention to the characteristics and qualities that are important to the members of the target language community, and avoid staying out of it. ? It is necessary to train students to understand the localization of goals from the perspective of insiders. This sympathetic view can help students explain foreign cultural behaviors more accurately? . Let students realize that there is no such thing as good or bad culture, and even members of the same culture will have different performances. Culture teaching is not to strengthen students' prejudice or change their existing beliefs, but to stimulate students' interest in the target language and improve their sensitivity.

? It is an ideal state to fully understand the target language from the perspective of insiders. It is difficult for learners to achieve this state, and it is also a state that some learners are unwilling to achieve because of their status. Kramsch put forward the third position, giving learners the opportunity to grow. Is the process of learning a foreign language a rest Boundaries? Through learning, learners will realize that the same event can be expressed in different frames of reference. This kind of learning is not simply to imitate and accommodate another culture, but to achieve it when surpassing the national culture and another culture? The third position? To understand the power and control given by language! When people from different cultural backgrounds communicate, conflicts may exist at any time. In order to avoid conflicts and gain communicative competence, foreign language learners should not rely entirely on it? Speak your mother tongue? Who is the role model? Do as the Romans do? As a standard. On the contrary, we should have the awareness and ability to understand cultural diversity and evolution.

4. Specific methods of culture teaching

Cultural comparison. In cultural teaching, teachers can guide students to compare the similarities and differences between different cultures. Cultural contrast is not to belittle foreign cultures, but to enrich students' experiences and enhance their sensitivity to cultural diversity. Understand and respect this diversity, not overestimate or belittle a culture. Cultural contrast is easy to analyze, but it often leads to an absolute stereotype of a certain culture. When comparing cultures, we should avoid simply classifying cultures, which will stifle the richness and diversity of cultures; Avoid extreme localization of mother tongue and target language? Our culture? And then what? Their culture? Complete opposition.

Cultural package or capsule and cultural cluster. Cultural package refers to the description of the mother tongue culture and customs of the target language in one or two paragraphs, accompanied by pictures, slides and physical teaching AIDS. The cultural string consists of three cultural packages related to the theme. Simulation performance and role-playing are carried out simultaneously. Cultural packages and cultural strings enable students to make cultural comparisons in the process of contacting the customs of the target language. However, students should be reminded that members of the target language community have different thoughts and behaviors.

Cultural assimilators include key events in communication between members of various native and target language communities, which can be presented through dialogue or narration. Then ask the students to choose four possible explanations for the cause of this incident (listed in the form of multiple choices). Finally, by reading a passage explaining this event, students can judge whether their choice is correct or not and learn more about this event.

Appreciation of literary works is an important way to carry out cultural teaching. Literary works are the embodiment of a nation's beliefs, values and thoughts, and contain real language. By reading literary works, students can improve their language ability on the one hand, and understand the beliefs and values of the members of the target language on the other hand, which is helpful to re-examine the localization of their own language. However, the method of appreciating literary works will be limited by learners' foreign language level, which is suitable for intermediate and advanced learners.

Film appreciation can connect students with language and culture at the same time. Students can? Where is it? By studying the living language of the target country carefully, you can intuitively understand the social culture of the target country. A prominent feature of this film is that it shows the ins and outs of at least one conflict concisely and comprehensively. By discussing the movie plot, learners can better look at the problem from the perspective of the target language members. In addition, movies can provide students with nonverbal communication behaviors that cannot be clearly defined in the text, and they are more vivid and intuitive. When adopting this method, we should pay attention to choosing movies or TV series with good sound quality, suitable theme and rich cultural connotation.

5. Conclusion

Culture teaching is an indispensable part of foreign language classroom and an important way to cultivate learners' cultural awareness and sensitivity. Through systematic cultural teaching, learners' insight into mother tongue and target language and their ability to express culture in appropriate language forms are constantly improved, so that learners can learn to complete speech acts in different contexts politely and appropriately, and understand the implication and etiquette norms, that is, understand the appropriateness of behavior.
