This paper aims to theorize and practice language learning in that how effectively communicative the culture based English acquisition is for those who are in the environment of English as the Foreign Language. The theorization in this paper is that the characterization of the cognitive culture system may largely parallel to the nature of universality in language. It has the assumption which directs “cultural universal” is effective and communicative way of teaching and learning, just as the “universal grammar” is effective to learn English, especially for those who are EFL. As Chomsky proposed the language system, which is also believed to be an innately determined brain system of human species, I will propose a culture cognitive system in which the narrative functions properly through cognitive interaction between the producer and the perceiver. This paper will attempt to theorize the relationship between cognitive culture system and the narrative cognitive system, which is the basic concept of culture based English acquisition and brain based English one. Cognizing the narrative in order to cognize the culture is the dirving motivation and excitement for English learners to improve their English in the classroom setting. I will exemplify with Alice in Wonderland, a cultural contents, some effective teaching strategy of the cognitive narrative to obtain the linguistic and cultural cognition and to be involved in culture cognitive system.
