Abstract

Excellent traditional Chinese culture represents the “soul” and “foundation” of the Chinese nation. Its profound cultural connotation plays a positive role in shaping students’ values, cultivating cross-cultural communication skills, and fostering cultural confidence. Integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture into senior high school English teaching is conducive to fully realizing its educational function. Based on specific case studies, this paper elaborates on strategies for integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture into English reading instruction. Teachers can effectively achieve this integration and promote students’ holistic development through strategies such as multimedia introductions, creating authentic contexts, comparing similarities and differences between Chinese and foreign cultures, and organizing practical activities.
