Integrating Chinese Traditional Culture into Rural Primary School English Teaching: A Multimodal Approach

Abstract

Language is the carrier of culture, and culture can be inherited and developed through language. Chinese traditional culture has profound cultural details and important educational value. Therefore, promoting the integration of Chinese traditional culture into English teaching has become a necessary trend of educational development. The combination of Chinese traditional culture education and English teaching can not only improve students’ second language learning, but also deepen their understanding of traditional culture and evoke their love for national culture. However, there is a certain lack of traditional culture education in primary school English teaching, especially in rural areas. In order to solve the phenomenon of “Chinese Cultural Aphasia” and better help students understand and learn traditional culture, teachers can realize the effective penetration of the elements of Chinese traditional culture in rural primary school English teaching based on the multimodal perspective, thus further implementing the educational concept of cultural education.
