Chapter One Introduction
1.1 General background
As an important component of higher Education in our country, one of thedominant tasks of Higher Vocational-technical Education (HVTE) is to cultivate thecreative and practical talents in production, technology, service, management, etc.With China's entry into WTO and the establishment of China-Asean Free Trade Area,higher quality requirements will be gradually demanded from all kinds of professionaland technical personnel. Therefore, for existing higher vocational college andacademy students, it is necessary to be equipped not only with professional quality,moral quality, the quality to adapt to the market economy, and the computer networktechnology, but also with a good international communication quality, which is mainlyreflected in a higher level of foreign language, especially of English. For highervocational graduates, WTO brought them challenges as well as opportunities. If theywant to work in foreign-funded enterprises or other foreign institutions and get a moredominant position in the future competition, they must continuously improve theirprofessional quality and English practical ability.

1.2 The importance and necessity of the study
However, it is not difficult to find that in higher vocational English teachingteachers focus their attention on basic knowledge and examination ability training, butignore the input of culture, especially local culture. They devote most of time trainingstudents' ability to listen, speak, read, write and translate, and culture input is at mosttreated as an appetizer or a tool to warm up.Luckily, the close relationship between language and culture has attractedextensive attention worldwide and scholars at home and abroad have done a lot ofdiscussions and research about it. Many teachers have also realized the importance ofculture input during the English teaching.Nevertheless, the current English teaching has stepped into a dangerous zone,which focuses on the import and export of foreign cultures, especially the introducingand spreading of foreign cultures, and ignores Chinese culture and its expressions ininternational English, resulting in the phenomenon of "Chinese cultural aphasia" inintercultural communication. Because being lack of knowledge, most of highervocational college graduates can't express Chinese traditional culture correctly orintroduce Chinese culture to foreign guests, causing the barriers to cross-culturalcommunication. In this way, they still can't achieve the purpose of culturalcommunication.
