Abstract

This paper explores the application of cultural and text linguistics theories in English instruction. Focusing on variations between Chinese and UK cultures, it highlights the significance of understanding cultural norms of politeness for effective communication. It proposes practical strategies to incorporate cultural understanding into the English learning process for Chinese students. The paper further introduces the theory of text linguistics and its application in teaching English writing skills. The approach involves the analysis of texts to guide learners in creating coherent and comprehensive texts. The combined use of cultural and text-linguistic theories provides a promising method for enhancing English language proficiency.
