Based on cross-cultural communicative theories and built-in functional requirements of English teaching, we will in this article explicate the cardinal causes and ways of improving of the competence of the students of this specialty to express Chinese culture with English. Over two years’ experimental teaching practice in International Cooperation and Exchange School, Qiqihar University of China, we are convinced, endorsed by our satisfactory feedback and teaching effects, that introducing traditional culture of China into English class is advisable, and the practice is also compulsory for the cultivation of bilingual interdisciplinary talents who will be committed to the development of the least prejudiced cultural exchanges and the transmission of Chinese culture with philanthropism and universal value.
