我国高等教育体系改革的主要目标是培养德才兼备的应用型人才，注重学生综合素质的培养。大学英语教学的重点在于提升学生的跨文化交际能力，除了基本的听、说、读、写、翻译等语言技能外，还要进一步提升学生的语言文化素养。
My name is Nicole Hodge. For the past ten years， I have been working in an elementary school classroom as a teacher. I worked in every grade level from first to fifth， with children ages 6 to 11. My main focus will be ethnic studies. That means I will study how to teach various cultures in elementary education because we have many cultures here in California.
