ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing students' Chinese Culture Aphasia (CCA) in China's college English teaching. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study gathers rich data through literature review and interviews. Then, the research identifies five key factors influencing students' CCA in college English teaching, including differences of language and culture, textbook deficiency, the role of teachers, course evaluation system, and English language education system. Regarding these influence factors, this study offers several recommendations to promote a more comprehensive delivery of Chinese culture in college English teaching, which encompass encouraging students to actively engage in learning Chinese culture, updating textbooks, strengthening teachers' culture training, improving course evaluation system to better integrate Chinese culture education, and perfecting China's English language education system.
