ABSTRACT

With the gradual rise of the economic globalization level, the communication among various countries has also become increasingly frequent, which has led to deeper changes and development in the language and cultural exchanges between people. As the universal language in the world, English plays an important role in people's communication. It not only provides teachers and students with rich linguistic and cultural knowledge and skills, but also enables Chinese people to understand the exotic customs of western countries to a certain extent, thus continuously deepening the economic and cultural exchanges with other countries. Based on the in-depth understanding of cross-cultural communication, this paper further explains the important significance of strengthening the research on the cultural content teaching in English textbooks in the context of cross-cultural communication. On this basis, the paper expounds the problems and deficiencies existed in the current process of teaching English cultural content in detail, and puts forward corresponding solutions from the aspects of teachers' professional quality, teaching and evaluation methods, and the reasonable distribution of teaching material content. It aims to promote the cultural teaching in English textbooks to increase students’ cross-cultural awareness and ability, and further to improve their intercultural communication ability.
