摘　　要：当前我国英语教育体系以“英语语言形式”为中心,较少涉及“英语文化体系”,只教了英语的一半。以这种英语教育体系培养出来的学生能够在各种语言技术性考试中获得高分,不过会因为对英语文化缺乏了解而在和英语本土人士的实际交际中丢分。针对这一问题,我们尝试设计了以“英语文化体系”为中心的英语教育模式,确定了“大量、有效的英语文学原著阅读”的具体路径,以个别教育的方法进行了小规模的实验。经过六年多的实验,我们取得了初步的实验结果。我们发现学生们既能够很好地了解英语文化体系,又能够很好地掌握英语语言形式,还能够和英语本土人士进行得体的交际,在完整意义上基本学好了英语。所有参加实验的同学都被剑桥大学、南加州大学、香港中文大学、中山大学等国内外名校录取。The current system of English education in China is centered on the linguistic form of English,with little reference to the English cultural system,which teaches students only half of whatever English should be taught.The students trained in this system could get high scores in all kinds of exams of linguistic skills,but they could not do a good job in actual communication with native English speakers because of their lack of understanding of English culture.In response to this problem,we designed an English education model centered on the English cultural system,with identification of the specific path of extensive and effective reading of English literature.And we have conducted a small-scale experiment in which students are tutored individually.After more than six years,we have achieved encouraging preliminary results:we found that the students educated in our program are not only able to master the linguistic form of English,but also able to well understand the English cultural system,which enables them to be able to communicate appropriately with native English speakers.That means they have grown to be a qualified English learner.All the students who took part in the experiment have been admitted to prestigious colleges such as the University of Cambridge,the University of Southern California,the Chinese University of Hong Kong,Sun Yat-sen University and others at home and abroad.
