Abstract
Based on the requirement of College English Teaching Guide and discussion about researches on movie teaching, this project carried out empirical research to illustrate the practical effect of appreciating Oscar best Pictures on non-English majors’ cultural learning and cultivating their intercultural awareness in the process of college English teaching. It is hoped that this exploration will serve as a stimulus for further study to arouse college English teachers’ and non-English majors’ thinking and attention to English culture learning and intercultural awareness.
