In this rapidly developing society, persified economies need meeting, negotiations. Each nation has its own unique cultural backgrounds, leading to the difference values, thinking mode, and social rules. The cross-cultural communication burgeons fast, and become the key point of our study. They become the most important point in English learning. English education is too important to help Chinese go out of the world. Most people is confused for the English learning. A lot of words and solid grammar can not be used correctly. There are appeared “chinglish” in Chinese, and appeared a series of joke, even the misunderstanding. And then why we have no way to communicate, the answer is the difference between Chinese and the western countries, it contains the different language words, different background, and different language communications.
In communication, according to the research of scholars at home and at abroad, the influence of cultural is more important than language. Rixon claimed information that is of only 35%, and cross-cultural communication message is as high as 65% (Rixon 46). Brown thought, about 93% of the information effect factors derived Chinese and western cultural differences (Brown H.D 78).
As we know, there are so many differences between Eastern and Western culture that I can not list all of their different aspects. I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system. For you better understanding, I will set examples of China and America. 文化差异对中学生英语学习的影响(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_34906.html
