摘　　要：专门用途英语(ESP)不同于通用英语,涉及的目的、社会语境、言语功能、语域等方面具有专一性和特定性。从跨文化交际的角度出发,研究英语专业学生如何进行ESP学习。英语学习不仅要了解西方文化,还应更好地理解本土文化并能够用英语对外传播本土文化。因此ESP学习者在了解相关专业的文化知识基础上,进行西方文化与中国文化的比较,既增强文化意识,提高中国文化的英语表达能力,又有助于有效的跨文化交际,传播中国文化。Unlike English for Crcneral Purposes, English for Specific Purposes （ESP） is characterized by uniqueness in terms of purpose, social context, linguistic function and register. This paper mainly explores how English majors learn ESP from the inter- cultural perspective. Not only western culture but also Chinese culture should be understood in English learning. Therefore, ESP learners can make a comparison between Chinese and western culture based on the understanding of the knowledge of the related major, which thus improves the ability to express Chinese culture in English and achieves an effective communication.
