ABSTRACT

As the most widely used universal language in the world, English is regarded as a second foreign language by most countries and plays an important role in international communication. Today, higher education is in line with international standards, and most professional courses take bilingual teaching mode. Therefore, learning English is particularly important. The new curriculum reform also puts forward a higher requirement for college English education. It is pointed out that college English should be based on English language knowledge and application skills, learning strategies and cross-cultural communication, and guided by the new foreign language teaching theory. A variety of teaching modes and teaching methods are combined to form an English teaching system. Traditional English teaching uses language as the tool, while the new curriculum reform emphasizes that language is a part of cultural composition and that the cross-cultural communication ability of undergraduates should be improved through teaching. Therefore, college English teaching should pay more attention to the attribute of English as the carrier of cultural inheritance. Based on the basic knowledge of English master by students, students should improve their understanding of English and American culture and teachers are required to develop students with intercultural communication skills to become talented people with a new era of international cultural vision.
