新旧版初中英语教材文化呈现对比研究——以鲁教版为例

A Comparative Study of Cultural Representation in New and Old Junior High School English Textbooks—A Case Study of the Lujiao Edition

摘要: 研究对比分析鲁教版五·四学制中六年级英语新旧教材的文化呈现。采用内容分析法，运用“英语教材文化呈现分析框架”进行编码统计，研究发现，新版教材文化地域分布更均衡，中华文化占比显著提升，目标语国家文化比例趋于合理，但共有文化仍薄弱；文化类型仍以产品为主，呈现方式上多模态特征增强。研究结果表明教材编写从“侧重英美”转向“中西兼顾”，体现文化自觉与教育自信，为培养跨文化能力奠定基础，并建议加强国际文化与共有文化内容。

Abstract: This paper compares the cultural representation in the new and old English textbooks for Grade 6 under the 5-4 system of the Lujiao edition. Employing content analysis and the framework for analyzing the representations of cultures, the study finds that the new edition has a more balanced geographical distribution of cultures, with a significantly increased proportion of Chinese culture (especially traditional culture) and a more reasonable proportion of target‑language country cultures, though shared culture remains weak. The cultural types are still dominated by products, and the presentation shows enhanced multi-modal features. The study indicates that textbook compilation has shifted from “emphasizing British and American cultures” to “balancing Chinese and Western cultures”, laying a foundation for cultivating intercultural competence, and suggests strengthening international and shared cultural content.
