Cultural Influences On EFL Classroom

Based on a careful study of EFL classroom at college level, this paper provides a relatively panoramic and systematic view of the cultural influences on EFL classroom. It argues these cultural factors have built-in influences, which can not be overlooked, and calls upon our cultural sensitivity not only to the culture of the target language, but especially to the culture of our own, particularly when those language teaching theories and methodologies originated from the English-speaking countries are introduced and applied to Chinese EFL classroom. This paper suggests that adaptation is more preferable than adoption and filtering the Western approach to make it appropriate to the Chinese cultural norms is, in any way, advisable.
