Abstract
With the implementation of the Reform and Opening Policy, as well as more frequent international exchange, the advancement of social networking and information collecting, and the widespread use of the Internet in recent years, an increasing number of individuals have been active in intercultural dialogue. Change and new requirements of this new age improve language instructors' awareness of the role of culture in English instruction. Language instruction and developing students' multicultural communication skills are becoming increasingly crucial. Cultural background knowledge is an important part of cross-cultural communication as well as an important goal of language training.
