On Strategies of Integrating Chinese Traditional Culture into College Foreign Language Classrooms

Due to their particular professional backgrounds, college students and teachers of foreign languages have become the main carriers of the Chinese traditional culture “going out”. It is of great significance to integrate the Chinese traditional culture into daily foreign language classes and form a joint force between teachers and students to promote the Chinese traditional culture into and out of the foreign language classrooms. With students majoring in English, Japanese and German in East China University of Science and Technology as research subjects, this paper explores the current cognition status of students and teachers on the Chinese traditional culture, analyzes the “aphasia” condition faced by the Chinese traditional culture in current foreign language classrooms, and finally proposes a joint training strategy of tripartite cooperation, with colleges and universities innovating online and offline classrooms, teachers integrating Chinese traditional culture with their research directions, and students utilizing new media platforms. The proposed strategy aims to integrate factors of Chinese traditional cultures into foreign language classroom and improve the traditional cultural literacy of foreign language majors, so as to provide positive and useful thinking and references for students to promote Chinese traditional culture “going out of the foreign language classrooms”.
