10、频繁和深广，从文化的角度来学习英语及其翻译倍受人们的关注。学好一门语言首先了解它的文化，只有在此基础上，我们才可以更好的掌握语言的内涵。但在我国的九年义务教育中，初中英语口语教学却存在很多问题，其中最为严重的问题就是在教学过程中忽略了文化教学，从而导致我国英语口语教学效率低下。在我国，英语口语教学大致可以分为三个阶段：小学、初中和高中。初中是学生英语口语习得的一个重要的过渡阶段。因此在教学中，教师应该给予文化教学足够的重视。本文试图从文化迁移的角度通过对我国初中英语口语教学中存在的问题，制约学生口语交际的因素以及有效的口语教学策略的分析,旨在为有效提高初中阶段的英语口语教学提出良好建议。关键词

Chinese junior middle school students realize the significance of English as a tool in their studying aboard and in their future work, so they devote themselves to practice oral English. However, they are always affected by the similarities and differences between the tw
19、o cultures during learning a second language.This phenomenon is called cultural transfer. Positive culture transfer fosters foreign language learning. Negative culture transfer is a barrier for English teachers and Chinese junior middle school students during foreign language teaching and learning.
20、The students, even the teachers, dont realize the importance of the culture and ignore influence of culture transfer during teaching and studying. For example, such idioms likeevery bullet has its billet, sit on the fence, the students may not understand them, even know each word. So language teachi
21、ng is a teaching about culture. However, in our country, the stages of English teaching can be divided into three stages: primary school, junior middle school and senior middle school. The stage of junior middle school is a transition stage for students oral English learning in Nine-year compulsory
22、education. So the teachers must highlight the oral English teaching of Chinese junior middle school. In order to improve the level of oral English teaching in Chinese junior middle school, we must highlight culture teaching during the oral English teaching to decrease culture transfer phenomenon, ev
23、en eliminate it, meanwhile emphasize grammar and vocabulary. 1.2 The Objective and Significance of the Thesis In spite of the growing of researches on cultural transfer, there is an area left unattended. That is, how to deal with culture transfer in oral English teaching in Chinese junior middle sch
24、ool? How to further improve oral English learning and teaching in junior middle school? Language is a carrier of culture. Culture is the connotations of language. Language reflects the thinking patterns of a nation, psychological characteristics and social customs, historical transition as well as o
25、ther important cultural symbols. Without language, the human cannot describe any kind of culture. Of course, language itself is also one of the important parts of culture. When we learn the second language, we cannot ignore the relationship between culture and language. When learning a national lang
26、uage, we should grasp the opportunity to contact with the national traditional culture. However, oral English absolutely is the most important part in English teaching of junior middle school. So we have to learn English culture well when we are learning oral English. Lado (1957) said that the teach
27、er who has made a comparison of the foreign language with the native language of the students will know better what the real problems are and can provide for teaching them.1 And it shows the necessity of culture input during foreign language teaching. The present thesis aims at studying the cultural
28、 transfer in oral English learning for Chinese junior middle school students, having a general view on the manifestations of transfer as well as providing enlightenment for the teachers to help students overcome negative transfer and make full use of positive transfer.1.3 The Organization of the The
29、sis The thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter one is the introduction, which informs the background, the objective and significance as well as the organization of the thesis. Chapter two is the literature review, representing the definition of culture and culture transfer, the definition of oral
30、 English teaching strategies and skills in junior middle schools, the classification and characteristics of oral English teaching strategies, as well as previous study of cultural transfer in oral English teaching of Chinese junior middle schools done by other scholars both home and abroad. Chapter
31、three is the core of the thesis, which describes the problems existing in the oral English teaching of junior middle school, represents the main elements that restrict the students oral English learning and the effective strategies for improving the level of oral English teaching as well as offers s
32、uggestions for improving oral English teaching in junior middle schools of the text conducted by writer. The last Chapter discusses the significance of the study and provides some suggestions for oral English teaching of junior middle schools.Chapter Two Literature Review2.1 The Relationship of Cult
33、ure and Language What is culture? Someone will say that culture is for the economy, politics and all mental activities and products of human. Others have different ideas. In fact, about the definition of culture, there is no unified one. Therefore, the study of cultural definition is quite necessary
34、. At present, academia as opinion, known as the father of the anthropology of British anthropologists e. b. Taylor, the first scholar made a significant impact on the culture definition. He firstly gives a classic definition of culture in 1871 in his primitive culture in the science of culture chapt
35、er, he said: the culture or civilization, in its broad sense of ethnology, is a compound as a whole, including knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and which are as a member of society all other capabilities and habits acquired by.2 Obviously, it defined culture as the floorboard of the soci
36、al development in the process of human creation, including the material technique, social norm and the spiritual concept. From then on, Taylors definition about culture is regarded as the origin of cultural definition, future generations give this definition mixed views, and continuously put forward
37、 new ideas. What is culture? So far, there are many kinds of cultural definitions. Culture itself is an interesting, academic argumentative phenomenon. Cultural definition has a typical case that is a variety of disciplines for different definitions of culture. As a matter of fact, about cultural di
38、stinction, it is generally believed that culture is divided into broad sense and narrow sense two kinds, some people also call it big culture and small culture. In its broad sense, culture refers to the floorboard of material and spiritual wealth that human beings have created and accumulated in the
39、 course of social development, which includes three layers altogether. The surface level refers to all the essential material things for the living of human beings, namely the material culture, including food, drink, costume, building, and so on. It marks a certain social area of the development of
40、material civilization and spiritual civilization level, peoples values and behavior norms, specific organizational structure and way of life. The deep level refers to the spiritual culture, which includes social values, religious beliefs, mode of thought and so on. It is the central part of culture.
41、 The intermediate level is the conventional culture, which refers to all kinds of organizations, institutions, behavior customs, and life styles that are formed through humans social life. In its narrow sense, culture refers to the social ideology (the politics, laws, knowledge, belief, art, etc.) a
42、nd various social systems and corresponding organization structures (government, party, club, court and schools, etc.). It has great influence on the other two cultural levels, and it is the core of the whole culture.3 Language is not only a kind of cultural phenomenon, but also the most important c
43、ommunication tool for thinking and communicating. Language has its stability and nationality. Language is the medium that people communicate with each other, which will be inevitably influenced on the politics, economy, society, science as well as technology, even the culture itself. Language as a c
44、ommunication tool, does not exist independently, but exists with the culture. Language and culture rely on each other and influence each other. Language is an important carrier of culture. In turn, culture has a restrictive effect on language. So when learning a foreign language, we must first under
45、stand the nations culture, only in this way can we really understand and master the language well. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the relationship between language and culture.2.2 The Definition of Cultural Transfer and Its Classification To know the phenomenon of cultural trans
46、fer and its influence, first you must know the real connotations of cultural transfer. The concept of cultural transfer comes from the earliest language acquisition, and is often confused with interference. In fact, this confusion arises from the first language knowledge in different understandings
47、of the role of the second language acquisition. Based on the theory of behaviorism, linguists think that language acquisition is a kind of habit, learning a foreign language is actually to use target language to replace the first language in the form, so the knowledge of first language is regarded a
48、s an interference of second language acquisition. However, with the development of psycho-linguistics, there is a new understanding about the relationship between first language knowledge and second language acquisition. Psychological linguists Anderson believed that language learning is a process, including comprehension process a
