Abstract

After entering the 21st century, in the context of globalization, more and more people from different cultural backgrounds communicate with each other. As a universal language of the world, the learning of English has become more and more important. The ability to communicate in English is closely related to the English education received. Therefore, English education should not only focus on examination, but also comprehensive language skill, including cultural knowledge, communicative competence, etc. At the same time, the reform of college entrance examination also puts forward new requirements and learning directions for each stage of English teaching and learning in our country. Schools should adjust the traditional English teaching methods and gradually get rid of the shackles of exam-oriented education in order to cultivate students’ interest in learning and improve comprehensive language skill. As the initial stage of English learning, elementary schools should be the first to make adjustments and explore a set of teaching methods suitable for the learning rules of primary school students in our country. Based on this, this paper, from the perspective of the current situation of cultivating primary school students’ English cultural awareness, explores the achievements and existing problems of primary school English culture teaching, and proposes corresponding strategies, so as to enrich the relevant theories of primary school English education and provide primary school teacher with actionable suggestions.
