Abstract: English Culture is an important course for English majors. The main feature of this course is the large amount of information covering a wide range of cultural connotation. In this course, one of the main difficulties in teaching is to improve students’ ability of information acceptance and the integration of cultural knowledge. The following pattern of teaching is one framework of network assisted culture acquisition, positioning in modern education techniques and methods to reform the traditional English culture teaching and to describe the operational process of the system model. The future development and research direction of this network-teaching mode will be explored more in practice and its own practical views have been put forward in this thesis.
