I. Introduction
Communications among different cultures have become more and more frequent with the rapid growth of economy．However, English as a language which has a close connection with its culture has always been neglected. In the past few years，the teachers have paid more attention to the language form than anything else in English class in a middle school．The main goal to study English was to get good grades. So if the students can remember the vocabularies and the grammar rules，they may get good grades in the test．
But since 1990s，something began to change．The syllabus made for junior middle school English teaching in 1993 mentioned culture teaching for the first time．It said the middle school students should get the knowledge of differences among cultures，enhance patriotism and strengthen world conscience in the part of Educational Aims．In the part of Educational Objectives and Requirement，it said the students should obtain some certain intercultural awareness and hold the attitude of respect and tolerance towards cultures from other countries．When it comes to the 21st century, cultivating the students’ intercultural competence is getting more and more attention from the authorities．Culture awareness has been put as one of the five objectives for the first time. Culture awareness includes cultural knowledge，cultural understanding，intercultural awareness and intercultural communication competence．The students are required to improve their sensitivity to the differences or similarities among different cultures and their cultural resolution capability so as to improve their intercultural communication competence. 初中英语文化教学的调查研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_39228.html
