Abstract: Culture awareness includes cultural knowledge, cultural understanding, intercultural awareness and competence. While teaching, teachers should not only introduce the cultural knowledge, but also lay stress on developing students’ intercultural awareness.

So that I learn the current situation and analyze the problems of cultural awareness cultivation in English teaching
