Investigation on Chinese College Students’ English Expressiveness of Chinese Cultural Vocabulary in Independent College

Abstract

Basing on Aphasia of Chinese culture in English teaching and learning, this paper investigated Chinese students’ expressiveness of Chinese cultural vocabulary in an independent college by vocabulary translation test. The results indicated that Chinese college students’ expressiveness of Chinese cultural vocabulary was far from satisfactory. After analyzing the reasons for their poor English expressiveness of Chinese words related to Chinese culture, suggestions were also proposed to improve students’ ability to express Chinese culture.
