Learning English is challenging. A different system of grammar, sound, rhythm or alphabet can be the obstacle that keeps learners from achieving better language skills. For most of the Chinese English learners, the negative transfer of Chinese culture, due to the big differences existing between both languages, is the main cause of the hold-back. If we know more about the influence caused by negative transfers then we can encourage learners to study its culture to improve cross-cultural communication competence when learning English.

3. 国内外研究现状

There are four common methods and approaches among modern foreign language education. There is STRUCTURAL which based on beliefs about the structure of language while grammatical and syntactic elements of the foreign language will be isolated. There is COGNITIVE which based on studies of foreign language strategies specifically applied to only foreign language learning. This method focuses on learning style compatible with style of one''s own. INTERPERSONAL which focuses on the psychological level along with affective pre-dispositions of the learner in order to enhance one''''''''''''''''s learning which is based on the concepts learn from social psychology studies. The last one is FUNCTIONAL which focuses on language acquisition throughout learning progress. It is often referred to as natural approach. The Grammar-Translation approach still remains the main trend among schools in mainland. This approach was widely used in Latin Grammar School where Latin and Greek would be learned in order to understand the Holy Bible. Classes are taught in students'' first language, with very little use of the target language. Vocabulary is learnt in the form of isolated word lists. Teachers provide rule of putting words together but pay little attention to the texts which are used as exercises while learning grammars. Very little or even zero attention is given to pronunciation. The Direct Approach is widely used in language institutions. The class is presented by teachers who speak the target language as their mother tongue. The first language of students is never used. Along with culture which is a vital aspect of learning the language. While in America, teachers are more willing to create a communicative classroom which fosters acquisition of the target language. Teachers or instructor does not make correction to speeches made by students immediately. Students are allowed to respond using the target language, their mother tongue or even a mixture of both languages. To have a meaningful communication is the main focus of this approach.
