ABSTRACT

Language learning is inseparable from culture, especially foreign language learning. While learning a language, one must learn the corresponding culture. English, as a common language in the world, has set up a bridge for communication between people. In order to communicate more effectively and smoothly, people should have a certain understanding of different cultural backgrounds. Language is an important cultural carrier in higher vocational English learning. English communication should pay more attention to the infiltration of English culture to improve learners' communicative competence. In higher vocational English teaching, teachers not only need to help students master some necessary vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar communication skills, but also need to integrate cross-cultural awareness into teaching materials and classroom activities to develop cross-cultural teaching strategies. Based on the workplace situation, this paper analyses how to permeate cross-cultural awareness in higher vocational English teaching, so as to better cultivate students' cross-cultural ability.
