摘要：当今世界，全球化不断加深，中国需要更多地了解世界，世界也需要更多地了解中国。英语作为当今世界使用最广泛的语言之一，在世界文化交流中起着重要作用。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记反复强调文化自信，作出许多深刻阐述。如何在教学中培养学生正确的文化意识，使学生坚定中国文化自信，提升学生用英语讲好中国故事的能力，成为当下英语教学的重要任务之一。因此，本文旨在通过分析当下中国中学生和大学生的不同特点，分别探索如何在英语教学中培养学生健康的文化意识，使学生坚定中国文化自信，提升学生用英语传播中国文化的能力。通过探索，本文提出了个别可供英语教师尝试的方法，如将中国文化与情景教学法、任务教学法结合，引导学生比较中外文化等。
