  Language is an important part of the culture, the language can’t exist without the culture background. So it is impossible to learn language very well without understanding the culture of the country. Only when the relationship between language and culture is handled well and the cultural difference is sufficiently understood ,which will improve students’language quality indeed. In the foreign language teaching, culture means the history , contacting with and understanding the culture of English spoken countries are beneficial to the comprehension and usage of English.

  1Language and culture
  It is good for teachingEnglish well to know the relationship between language and culture . When we want to know the relations between language and culture. First of all, we should know what culture is. Some teachers regard culture as a compound unity. They think that culture include knowledge, art, law, morality, style and any ability or custom which are obtained by people as social member. And some people think that culture consists of all shaped products of human society, they think that culture consists of all the shaped products of human society. It means that we can say cities organizations and schools are culture. So, we can draw a conclusion. A language in a society is a part of that society’s culture.[1]
  Language play a very important role in culture. Language can’t be taken away from culture.When learning a foreign language,people should make out the culture of the nation who speak the language. If the unification between languageteaching and social culture knowledge teaching is neglected, the understanding and grasping of the language will greatly be affected and pragmatic failures will appear in communication. We can not teach a language without teaching a culture. And the purpose of this study is to discuss some problems on present cultural teaching in China. [2]
