摘　　要：本文以英语作为国际语言的英语教学理念为理论基础，通过问卷调查和有关中美文化节俗的个人访谈，研究了我国高校EFL学生对英语教材文化内容上的要求，探讨了文化素养与语言能力的关系。提出了EFL学生的大学英语教材不仅应当包括目的语文化，还应当包括本土文化，以及在不同层次上使用英语的各国文化。同时，要重视培养学生用英语表达本土文化的能力，从而提高他们的跨文化比较能力和沟通能力。This paper conducts a survey on Chinese EFL learners' needs for the cultural content of English teaching materials.
