答案:There are at least three objectives for us to teach culture in our class:
(1) To get the students familiar with cultural differences;
(2) To help the students transcend their own culture and see things as the members of the target culture will;
(3) To emphasize the inseparability of understanding language and culture through various classroom practices.
All this leads to a belief that a good understanding of structural things in some cases has much to do with a conscious understanding of the cultural background of the target language from language learners. In other words, a successful master of a given language has much to do with an understanding of that culture, because language and culture are correlated with each other at different levels of linguistic structure.
