自20世纪80年代“跨文化”一词引入中国之后，人们普遍关注并越来越清醒地认识到语言学习离不开文化的导入。语言是文化的一种表现形式，不熟悉语言的文化特征，就难以学好该种语言，文化已成为影响语言学习的一个重要因素。教育部高教司在《大学英语课程教学要求》试行版（2004年）和正式版（2007年）中均将跨文化交际作为大学英语学习的一项主要内容。本教材就是依据《大学英语课程教学要求》和教育部大学英语教学改革精神，以建构主义理论、生态教学理论和动机一目标理论为基础，从趣味性、知识性和实用性入手，分析东西文化差异的产生根源，阐述东西文化差异的具体表现，构建学生的跨文化交际知识，提高学生的英语学习兴趣，加强大学素质教育，培养具备跨文化交际能力的社会应用型人才。
