I .Introduction
Many people in China who have learned English for many years master a certain vocabulary and understand the rules of grammar, but they can not communicate with the English-speaking people successfully. The middle school students often have such experience that they know all the words in an article as well as the grammar structure, but they still can not understand its meaning. The main reason for the situation is that they can not understand English culture. When they communicate with others they encounter cultural barriers. While reading, they feel difficult to understand the meaning of the article accurately because of cultural barriers.
In fact, learning a language and understanding it has reflected that culture and language can not be pided. But different nationalities have different culture, and this cultural nationalism that makes people who grow up in one cultural style can not accept another cultural style, thus forming the cultural barriers in language learning. English belongs to the Indo-European language system and Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language. English and Chinese were established in different cultures, so they reflect different customs. All these are reflected in the language and bring about cultural barriers to the learning of English in Chinese context. 中学生英语学习中的文化障碍分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_18497.html
