Abstract

Language can be regarded as a carrier of culture. In the process of second language acquisition, cultural differences are the main factors causing learning disabilities.

In the process of intercultural communication or foreign language teaching and acquisition, the phenomenon of cultural transfer is widespread. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to draw a general conclusion through a questionnaire survey of nearly 100 college students, and on this basis, exploring the different forms and various elements of cultural migration in the process of second language acquisition and the cultural transfer to inspire the teachers and students in the second language teaching and acquisition process.
