Intercultural communicative competence has been widely accepted as the aim of EFL teaching. In order to obtain this competence, Culture teaching must be implemented in the college English teaching. Textbooks have played a very important role in the course of teaching and learning. Textbooks introduce students the cultures of different countries and regions, thus making it convenient for students to exert a relatively remarkable influence on the fostering of students' cultural awareness and competence of intercultural communication. This paper focuses on the content analysis of the cultural content in College English (New) (henceforth, CE (New)).

In this article, we make a case for the importance of oral narrative in Aboriginal children's (i.e., First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) literacy instruction. In particular, we argue that oral narrative or storytelling fits with Aboriginal epistemology-the nature of their knowledge, its foundations, scope, and validity. Moreover, storytelling is a traditional Aboriginal teaching tool and, as such, is familiar and culturally relevant to the children. We begin by reviewing a representative sample of the research that has examined the outcomes of early literacy instruction with Aboriginal children, documenting successes and challenges. Next, we describe Aboriginal epistemology, highlighting the role of the oral tradition. Because of the paucity of empirical peer reviewed studies conducted wit...

Oh the other hand, because [Anne McClintock] understands nationalisms as necessarily gendered, and because of her keen attention to the use of domestic trope in representing national homelands, she cannot simply dismiss the identifications of nations with the family and domestic spaces as a matter of "political love." She shows that the trope of the family works on two levels: "First, it offers a 'natural' figure for sanctioning national hierarchy within a putative organic unity of interests. Second, it offers a 'natural' trope for figuring national time" (1997, p. 91). Consequently, the family and domestic space "offered an indispensable metaphoric figure by which national difference could be shaped into a single historical genesis narrative" (p. 91). Just as hierarchies of age and gen...
