Abstract

Since language is closely related to culture, ignoring the effects of culture upon the language style and language application inevitably results in the reduction of the efficiency of foreign language teaching. Therefore, the author thinks, the culture introduction method should be adopted in language teaching so as to eliminate obstacles and undesirable influence on foreign language learning, which stem from not being familiar with the culture of the nation of the target language. Only in this way, can we enable our students to communicate in a correct, fluent and idiomatic foreign language. 
