英美文学与大学英语教学

良好的英美文学基础，有助于教师和学生了解西方文化。当前，在英语教学中，许多人认为英美文学对于非英美文学专业的学生并不重要。其实这是一种误解。从语言与文化的关系中可以发现。英美文学在大学英语教学具有重要的作用，它有助于学生理解英美语言的文化内涵，培养学生的学习兴趣，提高学生的英语水平。

Anthology of English Literature[M]. London: W. W. Norton Company, 1997. English & American Literature and College English Teaching

A good foundation in English and American literature helps teachers and students to under- stand Western culture. In the present English teaching, many people hold that English and American literature is not important to students as non - English majors. As may be discovered in the relationship between lan- guage and culture, English and American literature plays an important role in college English teaching, as it helps students to understand the cultural connotations of the English and American language, to develop their interest in English study and to raise their English level.
