Methods for Cultural Rapport in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL)

Abstract

This paper explores methods for building rapport between Culture orientation and TEFL against the background of Chinese culture. As language and culture are closely associated, by analyzing frequent cultural mistakes in TEFL, the author proposes some techniques, both from micro and macro aspects, to deal with these issues in a scientific way. The ultimate goal is to nurture students' cultural creativity in Chinese cultural context to equip them with the competence to acquire knowledge as well as to communicate in intercultural context.
