- Abstract
International high schools are developing rapidly in China within these years. All the high school students will go abroad to study in the future, and they need to learn IELTS or TOEFL or SAT English or ACT English or other international English learning materials. Thus, language learning, requirement, and testing for them are different from those of ordinary schools. Under these conditions, culture learning is a factor worth considering in international high school students’ language learning. This paper has found that students are interested in culture learning; they are most interested in economy, then legends/myths, weather, famous people’s lifestyle, interesting things, and famous sayings, sports, geography, history, architecture, traditions, politics, and literature; their most preferred teaching methods for culture are movies, videos and role-plays. They all think culture can improve their class attention or performance as well as their language score. Based on the findings, this paper suggests that international high school teachers need to improve culture teaching using the methods mentioned above.
