With the rapid spread of economic globalization and the increasingly close communication between countries, cross-cultural communication has become an important means of international communication, which requires high two-way communication between foreign languages and mother tongues. In order to adapt to the development trend of globalization, China pays more attention to English education. The popularity of English teaching in colleges and universities is increasing, but it has brought the aphasia of China culture. Therefore, educational circles, especially universities, should pay attention to the cultural aphasia in China and make improvements as soon as possible.

Since the new curriculum reform plan was put forward, new requirements have been put forward for the teaching methods and tasks of major universities in China, and the improvement of teaching quality has become the core issue that universities should pay attention to. As an important means of communication, English plays an important role in international relations. However, there are still many shortcomings in English education in domestic universities, and China's cultural aphasia is the first problem to be solved.
1 the significance of cultural aphasia in China
To put it simply, the phenomenon of cultural aphasia in China mainly means that in college English teaching activities, teachers often only pay attention to English grammar and oral training, while ignoring the English expression of China traditional culture. That is to say, college English classes do not create English situations based on China culture for students. No matter how fluent and standard spoken English is, learners can't explain China culture to others fluently and freely, which is also a major defect in English classroom teaching. But at this stage, neither college English teachers nor English learners can pay attention to this problem in time, which hinders the further friendly exchange between Chinese and Western cultures. In view of this situation, colleges and universities need to attach great importance to this kind of problems, so as to create a suitable simulation scenario for realizing cultural exchange in China in English classes. Since the phenomenon of "cultural aphasia" was put forward, most English teachers have gradually realized the importance of this problem and given quite a few remedial measures, but the results are often unsatisfactory. Even some English educators spend a lot of time on the English expression of students' China culture, and use the time inside and outside the classroom to cultivate students' relevant expression ability, but the results are little. It is difficult for English learners in domestic universities to express China culture, or to state topics with local cultural characteristics in China. Thus, the spread of China culture in contemporary college English teaching is far from enough, and there is still a long way to go.
2 aphasia in English class performance
2. 1 Concept and practice cannot be organically combined. Generally speaking, practice depends on theory, especially English class. In order to realize the effective expression of China culture in English class, teachers should attach importance to the expression of China culture when designing courses, and add appropriate links to promote the organic combination of China culture and English expression. In fact, it has been clearly stipulated in college English curriculum standards that learners should be able to translate some articles introducing China's local culture and relevant national conditions after they have certain oral expression ability. However, this provision is only limited to some students with high English level, and more college students are ignored. In addition, the English curriculum standards for compulsory education have made specific requirements for the expression and understanding of their own culture for a long time, and students in basic courses must master the ability to express China culture. Therefore, it is quite unreasonable to ignore the improvement of this ability in college classrooms. Domestic colleges and universities have paid more attention to English teaching than mother tongue teaching, and even have strict requirements for grade examinations. Under such circumstances, aphasia has not been alleviated, but has worsened.
2.2 The cognitive ability of China culture is limited. For English teachers, it is relatively simple to have a good English class. However, it's a bit difficult to assume that teachers need to add the content of China culture in the course of lectures. English teachers' cognitive ability of China local culture is still insufficient. Under this condition, most teachers can't express China culture fluently in English teaching, and students can't learn to express local culture effectively in class. In the long run, they will not only improve their mother tongue cultural literacy, but also lead to cultural aphasia. In addition, in English class, the teachers concerned do not pay enough attention to cross-cultural communication in time, and both teaching and learning put too much reward on the cultivation and exercise of English ability, which can not reflect the cultural communication function of Chinese and Western languages. The main reason for this situation is that colleges and universities attach importance to the cultivation of foreign language ability and ignore the spread of China culture.
2.3 Lack of cross-cultural communication context There are many teaching resources available in the university classroom, and students can also set up their own oral clubs to exercise their oral English, which also shows to some extent that in their spare time, students' oral English can be fully exercised, and they can also realize direct foreign communication through various channels. Therefore, when colleges and universities introduce excellent foreign language teachers, they should also pay attention to the introduction of foreign teachers who have a strong interest in China culture. Such teachers have a certain understanding of China culture and a desire for in-depth study, so they will pay special attention to the content of China culture in the process of cross-cultural communication, which will also have a positive impact on cultivating students' English expression ability of China culture.
How to improve aphasia in English class
3. 1 Add China culture to the teaching plan. At present, college English courses overemphasize students' mastery of language knowledge and expression skills, while ignoring the humanistic characteristics of English and failing to pay attention to its culture in time. The content of English culture in textbooks is obviously more than that of China culture. Therefore, in the face of increasingly severe cultural aphasia, it is particularly important to design teaching plans in a planned and targeted manner and find teaching resources with cultural characteristics. Most universities in China offer a summary of western literature, but few courses related to China culture are offered. Even if it is designed, it is only an elective subject, and neither teachers nor students will care too much. This teaching situation cannot be effectively improved in a short time, but English lecturers can use the teaching resources inside and outside the class to integrate China culture into foreign language classes as much as possible, thus changing the situation that students don't know much about China culture.
3.2 Enhance the teaching awareness of China culture In the teaching process, in order to change the status quo of college students' aphasia of China culture, not only teachers need to have a certain sense of China culture and cultural identity, but also students should constantly think about and master their mother tongue culture in the process of learning western culture. When teachers create interesting English scenes, they should compare with China culture. In English class, only when the level of foreign language and mother tongue is at the same level can bilingual culture be promoted and students' intercultural communication quality be improved. 3.3 Increase the proportion of evaluation of China culture. At present, the National English Proficiency Test has gradually begun to set preliminary requirements for the English expression of China culture. According to the curriculum requirements, the accurate translation of articles reflecting the national conditions of China has become a higher requirement for college students' intercultural communication oral expression ability in the new era. Students constantly reflect on their cultural attainments through continuous tests and exercises, so as to help them experience the long-standing cultural charm of China in the process of continuous practice. The education department should also learn from other people's experience, actively absorb foreign culture, and at the same time, it should not ignore the spread of mother tongue culture, so as to promote the two-way improvement of learners' language knowledge and humanistic quality.
4 conclusion
It is imperative to properly integrate China local culture education into English classroom teaching activities, which requires English teachers to improve classroom activities in combination with teaching plans, strengthen students' expression of mother tongue culture through practical training, and maximize the comprehensive quality of students' cross-cultural communication between China and the West.
