【摘要】 目前，语言学家和外语教育工作者普遍认为外语教学的最终目的是培养学习者的跨文化意识和交际能力，这就使得文化教学在外语教学中的地位显得格外重要。然而，目前的英语文化课却存在着诸多问题，如英语教师缺少跨文化交际能力，学生缺少真实的文化语料和语境，传统的文化教学方法也存在着诸多弊端等。如何增强文化教学的效果是外语教学实践中急需解决的重要问题。多媒体技术具有集图形、图像、声音、动画、文字等多种信息功能特点，特别是因特网诞生以来，其信息量大、信息资源之丰富、信息资源共享性之高的优势，都是过去任何一种媒体所无法比拟的。多媒体的迅速发展及应用给教育教学带来了新的机遇与挑战，同时也为语言的教与学创造了新的环境。多媒体技术能否有效地运用于文化教学，是本项研究的侧重点。基于对多媒体技术性能的分析及其多媒体辅助文化教学相关文献的回顾，通过教学实验、调查、访谈和教学观察，本项研究探讨了多媒体技术辅助英语文化教学的必要性与可行性。在收集数据的基础上，作者采用定性分析为主，定量分析为辅的科研方法，对所得数据进行分析。分析结果表明：多媒体辅助英语文化教学有助于提高学生的学习效率，对培养学生的跨文化交际意识、学习主动性和独立性，建立他们的自信心有明显的促进作用，并能增进师生间的交流。同时，大多数学生对这一新的教学方式持肯定态度。由此，多媒体技术在辅助英语文化教学的实践中有其必要性和可行性。本研究对于改进文化教学模式和增强文化教学效果具有积极意义。此外，本项研究的结果还显示出多媒体辅助英语文化教学还存在一定的弊端，如内容讲授不系统、课件设计费时费力等。因此，建议英语教师在多媒体环境下应结合传统文化教学方法，积极转变自身角色，认真设计教学课件。必须指出，此研究还具有一定的局限性，如受试群体数量有限，实验周期偏短等。因而，对于多媒体辅助英语文化教学的可行性还需要作进一步探讨。更多还原

【Abstract】 Nowadays, developing learner’s cross-cultural communicative competence has been the ultimate goal of foreign language teaching. Thus, culture teaching is in vital need in FIX However, there are many problems existing in current culture teaching practice, such as foreign language teachers lack cultural competence; learners lack an authentic cultural context; traditional culture teaching methods also have some limitations. Therefore, enhancing the effectiveness of culture teaching should be an important issue in foreign language teaching practice.Multimedia technology, which is characterized by a combination of graphic, textual, audio and video functions, is superior to any other medium in its devastatingly huge mass of information, abundant resources, and partaking of information, especially after the availability of the Internet. The rapid development and wide application of multimedia computers have offered great challenges and opportunities for education, meanwhile, the wide spread of multimedia technology and the advent of the Internet create new environment for language teaching and learning. Then, the study focused on the effectiveness of multimedia technology in assisting English culture teaching.Based on the analysis of the features and potentials of multimedia technology, and the review of relevant studies on multimedia-assisted culture teaching, the author explored the necessity and feasibility of using multimedia technology in assisting English culture teaching through conducting the experiment, survey, interview and observation in culture teaching practice.In terms of data analysis, the author mainly adopted qualitative method, and quantitative method served as an assistant tool to support the former. The results of data analysis showed that MAECT improved students’ achievements; it was helpful for cultivating students’ cultural awareness, independence and initiative in culture learning, and establishing students’ confidence; it also increased the interactions between the teacher and students. Besides, most of the students in the experimental class showed a positive attitude towards this teaching mode. Thus, it was necessary and feasible to use multimedia technology in assisting English culture teaching. The study is helpful for improving culture teaching modes and enhancing its effectiveness.However, the study also revealed that multimedia-assisted English culture teaching still had some deficiencies, such as the content displayed by the multimedia screen is not systematic; courseware design needs much time and energy, etc. It is suggested that English teachers should integrate MAECT into the traditional culture teaching methods. Besides, they should be aware of their different roles in the multimedia environment, design and share courseware with peers.It should be pointed out that the study itself has its limitations. For example, the number of subjects and the period of experiment were limited. Therefore, more studies should be done in the future to further prove the proposition.更多还原
