3。4 Neglecting the improvement of students’ cultural attainments

     The communicative function of English is becoming more and more important today, so teachers pay more attention to developing students’ communication ability。 However, mastering the necessary language knowledge is not enough, cultural attainment is another important factor to successful communication。

     Current primary and secondary school teaching materials cover a little content of culture。 It brings a lot of difficulties and challenges for teachers to carry out the culture teaching under this language environment。

     In colleges, such problems also exist。 "Nowadays many English major graduates have not even read the most basic English classics, A Tale of Two Cities, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and so on。" In the first East China English teaching seminar host by Shanghai Foreign Language Institute and Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, He Zhaoxiong, the honorary president of English College of Shanghai International Studies University, the PhD supervisor, argued College English professional development must return to "nature"。 Many experts attending the meeting all felt the same way。 He points out that at present, English learners use English only as a language tool, have language skills training, while neglecting the English culture learning。 For example, courses such as English literature, according to the requirements of the English Curriculum, students must learn for one year, but many schools compress the course into a single semester, some schools even compress all the professional courses。文献综述

Both primary and secondary school teachers and university teachers should pay attention to cultivating Students’ Cultural Attainments。

3。5Misunderstanding the mistake

     Oral English is different from reading and writing, it is used to communicate with others directly and effectively。 In the process of communication, time for thinking, words choice and sentence-making is very limited。 So it is hard to avoid some mistakes in the process of communication。 But for most students, making a mistake means no face or a shameful thing。 Some born bashful students are shy to speak in public。 It is well known that the formation of language skills is a long-time process。 However, some students’ basic skills are not solid, featuring inaccurate pronunciation and intonation, poor grasp of grammar and so on。 These make students fear of difficulty easily, and then a psychological barrier is formed, students being afraid of making mistakes, being laughed at or criticized。 As a result, students do not want to speak out any more。 Misunderstanding of students’ spoken English mistakes invisibly leads to the related problems in oral English teaching。
