ABSTRACT
English teaching should pay attention to the cultivation of cross-cultural communication ability. On this point, the domestic and foreign education circles have long reached a consensus. The Undergraduate Teaching Requirements for Business English Majors in Higher Education (Trial) put forward the requirement of “strong cross-cultural communication skills and high humanistic literacy” to the goal of personnel training, and included cross-cultural communication skills and humanistic literacy in the four major professional knowledge and ability modules, accounting for about 10% to 20% of the whole course group. The courses offered international business culture, corporate culture, European and American culture overview, Chinese culture summary, etc. For first-and second-year students, basic language course teaching should also create a strong cultural learning atmosphere. This requires teachers to infiltrate cultural teaching into the process of language teaching, and cultivate students' cross-cultural communication ability. Based on the theory of “output-oriented approach”, this paper intends to analyze the principle of the Chinese introduction of comprehensive English teaching in business, and explore the teaching design under the mode of cultural import.
