The Book Report on Intercultural Communication

Now we are in an era of globalization, the connection between different people with various cultural backgrounds becomes closer and closer, so it is the high time that we should have an awareness to admit the diversity of cultures and respect the difference of cultures. In this book, we can have a general understanding of the intercultural communication. To be exact, it demonstrates some theories to help us to achieve effective communication; also it points out some barriers preventing the effective communication and lastly gives us some suggestions on how to communicate smoothly and effectively when we are in different contexts as well as how to improve our intercultural communication competence. In this report, I will try to write down what I have learned in each chapter and then talk about my personal view on intercultural communication.

1,The knowledge I learn from Intercultural Communication

1)culture

From chapter one, we can know that culture is the deposit of knowledge,experience,beliefs,values,actions,attitudes,hierarchies,religions, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and artifacts acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving. It has five characteristics, that is to say, culture is learned, dynamic, pervasive, integrated and adaptive. Everyone has its cultural identity whether it is examined or conscious or not. In addition, under the influence of these factors such as economic, politic, race, social class and the like, we human beings formulate the subculture, co-culture and the subgroups which are deviant and temporary.

2)Communication and intercultural communication

From chapter two, we can learned that the process of communication is composed by 9 parts, namely, sender message encoding channel receiver decoding feedback and noise and context in order. The communication process is dynamic, systematic, symbolic, irreversible, transactional, self-reflective and contextual. Wha t’s more, culture is closed related to communication. Besides that, we can also learn that there are four main forms of intercultural communication including international communication, interracial communication, interethnic communication and intracultural communication.

3)culture’s influence on perception

From chapter three, we can learn that culture, which teaches us how to process and understand the information obtained from our senses, plays an important part in our perception. The process of perception is divided into three stages. When we select some message we need from our various senses, then we will organize these useful messages and finally interpret them. Sometimes we need to overcome barriers to accurate perception, such as ignoring details, over-generation, focusing on the

negative and so on. So it is essential for us to improve our perceptual skills in intercultural communication. They are listed as follows:

Increase our understanding of the perceptual process

Increase our observation acuity

Check our perception

Increase our awareness of perceptual inaccuracies and compensate for them

Recognize the elements to which you contribute meaning.

Develop social decentering, empathy, and other-orientation

4)intercultural communication barriers

From chapter 4, the author mainly talks about the intercultural communication barriers from three perspectives, namely, emotional, attitudinal and translation barrier. When we are not familiar with another culture, we will sometimes fell anxious and uncertain. We always assume the similarity instead of difference and take our own culture for granted. With regard to attitudinal problems, we are usually influenced by the sense of ethnocentrism, stereotyping, prejudice and racism due to our early socialization and social economic and psychological benefits. As for the translation problems, we need to guarantee the equivalence of vocabulary, idioms, grammar and syntax, experience, and concepts.

5)Verbal intercultural coommuniction

From chapter five, the author talks about the verbal communication. Verbal communication is achieved by language as well as cultural literacy. The meaning of words comes out of the context. There are five verbal communication styles in this chapter: derect/indirect; self-enhancement/self-effacement; elaborate/exacting/succinct; personal/contextual and instrumental/affective. In addition, languages are various from countries to countries, regions to regions and have different functions. We have dialects, sociolects, pidgin, taboo, euphemism and lingua franca which will make the communication more difficult. Finally the verbal communication can affect the written communication, especially in business written form. We need to adjust our way of writing when we approach different people with different cultural backgrounds, either in direct plan or indirect plan.

6)Nonverbal intercultural coommuniction

From chapter six, we know that apart from verbal communication, nonverbal communication, sending messages without using words, can also deliver more information to us as well as reflect our subconsciousness spontaneously. Nonverbal communication codes in a communicating setting can be divided into different categories, such as paralanguage, silence, proxemics, chronemiccs, oculesics, olfactics, haptics, kinesics, chromatics and attire. For example, when you are silent in a discussion, it will have some implications. Firstly, you are not for the ideas others put forward. Secondly, you are lack of ideas. Thridly, you are shy to express yourself.

7)Cultural pattern

From chapter seven, we know shared beliefs, values, norms, and social practices that are stable over time and that lead to roughly similar behaviours across similar situations are known as cultural patterns. It affects our ways of thinking and acting. Wha t’s more, Edward T Hall’s introduces the high-context communication and the low context-communication that are essential to effective communication. In high-context communication, information is provided through gestures, the use of space, and even silence and don’t rely on verbal communication as their main information channel while the latter deliver the information mainly through the verbal messages. Then Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck put forward the value orientation, including human nature,person-nature, activity and relation. Lastly Hofstedde has identified four value dimensions that have a significant impact on behavior in all cultures. These dimensions are individualism and collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity and femininity.

8)Cultural influences on contexts

In chapter eight, we can know that meaning in communication is basically decided by context. Context may consist of the social, political, and historical structures in which the communication occurs. Communication in three areas is most influenced by context:business, education and health care. In the business field, management has become a crucial issue and the managing styles vary from culture to culture. In addition to management, business practices such as gift giving, negotiation, greetings are also posing problems for the business interaction. Also, people in different educational background hold different cultures’ beliefs, values and norms. Similarly, health care professionals rely on the context. The different concerns about reasons for illness, family member roles, gender roles and language prove to be problematic in the health context. So if we want to achieve smooth communication across different cultures, we need to be willing to accept and understand the different cultural patterns.

9)Intercultural adaptation

In chapter nine, we learn about the intercultural adaptation. When we come into a new culture, we need to know how to adapt to a new culture. Many foreigners will face culture shock which is a double sword. We need to master some strategies for avoiding culture shock and engaging in intercultural adaptation. Firstly, we need to study the host culture and the local environment. Secondly, it is necessary to learn basic verbal and nonverbal language skills. Thirdly, we need to develop intercultural relationship with host nations and maintain an intimate social network. Fourthly, assuming the principle of difference and anticipating the failure events is helpful in intercultural adaptation.

10)Intercultural communication competence

In the last chapter, we learn that intercultural competence is now more vital than before because of economic, technological, demographic, and social justice concerns. Having a good competent intercultural communication can help us fulfill our objectives and make our behaviors appropriate to the context and at the same time to maintain a good relationship with the people we approach. Intercultural competence includes individual component and contextual component. What’s more, there are four dimensions of intercultural competence-knowledge, affective, psychomotor and situational features dimension. So in order to be successful intercultural communicator, we need to develop skills to and strategies. Such as

?Work to emphasize areas of similarity wit others

?Try to accept differing opinion

?Make your verbal messages consistent with your nonverbal messages

?Avoid dominating conversation

?Avoid being submissive in conversation

?Be a affirmer

2,My view on intercultural communication

1)The use and the importance t of intercultural communication

Before I read this book, I have thought the culture conflicts exist between different countries with different culture background, but I am wrong, intercultural communication exists everywhere. People cannot live without intercultural communication. Even when they are alone or silent, people are bombarded with communication. Human communication is the ability to use language, the ability to exchange ideas with people around us in different cultures. Communication with others is inevitable to human beings. Communication which is very important to our humans is the vehicle by which people initiate, maintain, and terminate their relationships with others. so intercultural communication is becoming pervasive because of the development of transportation and technology.

The intercultural communication is applied into many fields, such as economic, politic, education, technology, health care and so on. And we cannot deny that culture communication is a double sword. If we can have good command of different culture a nd follow the host’s culture, it will bring a lot of benefits to ourselves, if not, we will suffer from this.

With the rapid development of the modern society, the benefits of the Intercultural communication become more and more obvious.

Firstly, communicating and establishing relationships with people from different cultures can lead to a whole host of benefits, including healthier communities; increased international, national, and local commerce; reduced conflict; and personal growth through increased tolerance.

Secondly, due to through open and honest intercultural communication, people

can work together to achieve goals that benefit everyone, regardless of group or culture, including the global community in the home, business, or neighborhood. Healthy communities support all community members and strive to understand, appreciate, and acknowledge each member. Our ability to interact with persons from different cultures brought us many benefits.

Thirdly, because of cross-cultural exchange, we can learn about the other countries’ way of life, also we can understand their industry structure. Thus we can do commercial exchanges and academic communication with them. Only through the exchange, we can get more academic knowledge, our communication will be easier and there will be less conflict between people of different cultures.

2)The ways to improve our intercultural communication skills

In regard to improving our intercultural communication skills, firstly, we have to recognize that we will make mistakes, learn from them, adapt, and move on. A good beginning point is to recognize that people from different cultures are different—not better or worse, but simply different. Besides that, we shouldn’t take our own culture for granted. If we are able to do this, we can adjust and adapt our verbal and nonverbal messages accordingly and become proficient communicators.

Secondly, educate ourselves about different cultures. Be open to learning about culture and develop a sincere interest in learning about others. If this is a work-related situation, inquire with Human Resources to see if there are courses or activities related to intercultural training. If you have encountered a new friend, search the internet or go to the library to find out facts about his cultural history.

Thirdly, Pay attention to our tone and our body languages in speech. Understand that many cultures give specific meaning to tone and body language. What may be a simple reaction to us could be seen as disrespectful. Be aware of when and how we laugh during interactions. Raising our voice or intonation at certain times may be seen as aggressive.

Fourthly, try to remove slangs or idioms from our speech especially we talk someone from different cultural backgrounds. Many words in slang are misunderstood across cultures. Slang is specific to culture and many times does not communicate in the same way across cultures. For example, in England a "fag" is a cigarette and an acceptable term. In the United States, this is seen as a derogatory term.

In a word, in order to be a good and efficient communicator, it is essential for us to realize and learn these theories I talk above, show respect to the culture differences and accept the cultural diversity.

Case Study 1 Age and Status 两位同事的矛盾使一家数据处理公司的总经理遇到了麻烦。一方是一位踌躇满志的法裔加拿大小伙子,另一方是一位有特许签证的年长的中国女性,而此前两人确实很好的合作伙伴….. Case description: A manager in a data-processing company was having difficulty dealing with a conflict between a young, ambitious French Canadian male and his co-worker, an older Chinese woman who was on a special visa from China. She had recently become uncooperative and had made it clear to the manager that she would not be willing to travel to the capital with her co-worker to hold discussion with legislators about a new product with great enthusiasm. When the manager asked her what the problem was, he received no clear explanation. When he asked her co-worker, the young man had no insights to offer. The young French Canadian was clearly annoyed, however, that the Chinese woman was refusing to share her data with him. That meant he couldn’t make the presentation to the legislators because she had all the key data on her computer disks. The manager repeated questions to her but her “problem” got nowhere. So he changed his approach. He began explaining his concerns, as manger and as spokesperson for the company, about the upcoming meeting with legislators. His explanation about his position was unemotional. In that climate she then felt she could explain her position. She revealed she felt that that as an older, and to her mind, more senior person, she should not be sent to the capitol with a younger employee who would do the presentation of material she had worked hard to develop. That would diminish her status, she felt. The general manger knew the root of his headache. Questions: 1.What do you think caused the conflict? 2. What would you do to resolve the conflict if you were the general manager? 矛盾冲突 这位年长的中国女士投入极大的热情和精力开发产品.却在最后的关键时刻拒绝与年轻的同事一同去向议员做推介:当经理和同事问其原因.她并未做任何明确的回答:而当经理改变策略,不再直接询问原因,而是迂回地讲起自己的困境时,她才道出自己的顾虑。在这位资深年长的中国女士看来,同一位比她年轻的同事一同去国会,并且由对方来做推介会影响到她的地位和威信,因此她无法同意: 原因分析 造成这一矛盾的文化因素有两方面.对地位、年龄的不同态度以及这种不同的表达方式。人对权力的认识因文化背景的不同而不同。根据霍夫斯特的调查研

跨文化交际

Intercultural communication is a form of global communication. It is used to describe the wide range of communication problems that naturally appear within an organization made up of individuals from different religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.As a separate notion, it studies situations where people from different cultural backgrounds interact. Aside from language, intercultural communication focuses on social attributes, thought patterns, and the cultures of different groups of people. It also involves understanding the different cultures, languages and customs of people from other countries. Intercultural communication plays a role in social sciences such as anthropology, cultural studies, linguistics psychology and communication studies. Intercultural communication is also referred to as the base for international businesses. There are several cross-cultural service providers around who can assist with the development of intercultural communication skills. Research is a major part of the development of intercultural communication skills. As we all know, there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects. I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system. For your better understand , I will set examples of China and America. It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese. But people in America prefer to forks and knives. This different result is based on different food they are like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak, bread, and salad, while Chinese people choose noodles, pancakes and rice. What is more, the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly .However, there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture. For example, the coffee and bread have introduced to China. The famous KFC is very popular at children. The gap of teaching system between China and America is big. Chinese students always complain about their homework. Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax. They have to recite many things as to get a high mark. Homework comes the first to them. In my opinion, the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions t o training students? skills in thinking in realistic life not to emphasis on the importan ce of memories. In a addition, the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and t he job of graduates are quite different, too. I should say that China government should make great efforts to improve its teaching system. I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheers to our country. “Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the me mbers of one category of people from another.” It is inevitable that the cultural difference has impact on business. For example, when a company is having meeting, the word “table” they mention in American Engli sh means to put something on the agenda, but in British English it means to put somet hing off the agenda. This example indicated how the culture affects the business. In Western wedding culture and the first in the West in thinking about the differe

跨文化交际论文中文

浅谈跨文化交际 【摘要】在中西跨文化交际中,文化冲突的事例屡见不鲜,严重影响了交往的顺利进行,因此我们很有必要找出其深层次的原因,并采取一定的措施来培养跨文化交际的能力,避免文化冲突。 【关键词】跨文化交际、文化差异、文化冲突 随着中国对外开放程度的逐渐深入,西方社会的人和事物越来越多地走进了我们的视野,在这种情况下,跨国域、跨民族、跨文化的经济和社会交往将会与日俱增,这就为我们提供了许多与西方人接触和交往的机会,这对于加深我们的西方社会的理解是一件好事,但这并不是一件简单的事情,因为我们所面对的是来自陌生的文化和国家,思维方式、生活习惯和行为方式与我们迥然不同的人,在与之交往的过程中不可避免的会出现文化冲突的现象。 一.中西跨文化交际中经常出现的文化冲突 在中西跨文化交际中会出现的文化冲突有很多种,在这里我们不可能一一叙述,只能列出比较常见的几种。 1.隐私方面的冲突 中国人的隐私观念比较薄弱,认为个人要归属于集体,在一起讲究团结友爱,互相关心,故而中国人往往很愿意了解别人的酸甜苦辣,对方也愿意坦诚相告。而西方人则非常注重个人隐私,讲究个人空间,不愿意向别人过多提及自己的事情,更不愿意让别人干预。因此在隐私问题上中西双方经常发生冲突,例如:中国人第一次见面往往会

询问对方的年龄,婚姻状况,儿女,职业,甚至收入,在中国人的眼里这是一种礼貌,但在西方人眼里则认为这些问题侵犯了他们的隐私。 2.时间观方面的冲突 西方人的时间观和金钱观是联系在一起的,时间就是金钱的观念根深蒂固,所以它们非常珍惜时间,在生活中往往对时间都做了精心的安排和计划,并养成了按时赴约的好习惯。在西方,要拜访某人,必须事先通知或约定,并说明拜访的目的、时间和地点,经商定后方可进行。而中国人则属于多向时间习惯的国家,在时间的使用上具有很大的随意性,一般不会像西方人那样严格的按照计划进行,西方人对此往往感到不适应。 3.客套语方面的冲突 中国人注重谦虚,在与人交际时,讲求“卑己尊人”,把这看作一种美德,这是一种富有中国文化特色的礼貌现象。在别人赞扬我们时,我们往往会自贬一番,以表谦虚有礼。西方国家却没有这样的文化习惯,当他们受到赞扬时,总会很高兴地说一声“Thank you”表示接受。由于中西文化差异,我们认为西方人过于自信,毫不谦虚;而当西方人听到中国人这样否定别人对自己的赞扬或者听到他们自己否定自己的成就,甚至把自己贬得一文不值时,会感到非常惊讶,认为中国人不诚实。 4.餐饮习俗方面的冲突 中华民族素有热情好客的优良传统。在交际场合和酒席上,热情的

外国留学生调研报告

外国留学生跨文化主题探究 ——以国际交流学院留学生为例 一、调查目的 跨文化交际意识与心理问题的形成密切相关,为了更好地了解在华留学生跨文化交际意识情况,我们对国际交流学院的留学生做了调查。 二、调查对象 国际交流学院留学生,共23人。 国籍:巴基斯坦人、索马里 3人、阿富汗1人、加纳1人; 性别:男性22位、女性1位; 来中国时间:一年以上。 三、调查方法 随机抽样调查法 四、调查时间 2013年11月22日 五、调查结果 23个留学生填写显示:

在两国差异上,8个同学肯定了中国人民是友好努力的,11个同学表示很喜欢中国文化和中国的和平环境还有7个同学表示,两国的差异仅不同在饮食、语言、气候等条件,另有13个同学认为两国的差异在根本,即文化、经济、政治和环境上,同时,有7名同学表示,他在中国留学期间,在发生着积极向上的改变。 “留学间的困难”一栏中,有13位同学表示,中国与他们的国家在文化,价值观各方面有明显的不同,他们的饮食习惯,民族节日都没有的到重视,而中国同学和他们的理念也有所冲突,比如自立、自强的问题。有11个同学表示,语言交流有困难,在和中国朋友交流时,会出现词不达意或理解不了的障碍,但并不妨碍日常交流。九江天气多变,也是对留学生的考验,有3名同学在访谈中大呼“受不了”,“太冷了”,“宿舍和教师的距离太远了”建议把留学生的教学楼换近一点。

在收获一栏中,大家都肯定了来中国是正确的选择!

七、调查结论 由以上的分析,表明大部分留学生的跨文化交际意识处于中等水平,心理认知健康无障碍! 八、调查的缺陷 (一)调查范围小且对象分布不合理,科学性较低; (二)问卷设计存在漏洞; (三)由于调查范围小,所以无法用科学的统计方法进行准确分析。

跨文化交际案例分析答题技巧

汉硕案例分析答题技巧 最近很多人问关于汉语国际教育考试中的案例分析题该怎样答,我根据自己的粗浅经验,现总结如下: 1.答题思路:按照发现问题-- 分析问题-- 解决问题的思路。具体如下:(1)发现问题:也就是提出问题。在所给的案例中,某个出国教汉语的志愿者教师或来中国教外语的外教等,遇到了什么样的困难。遇到的困难可能是课堂教学时的,比如学生上课都不积极回答问题,不愿意参与老师精心设计的课堂活动,或者问老师一些可能涉及到“隐私”的问题;也可以是这位老师在生活上遇到的问题,比如无法与当地人沟通或交流(语言障碍,文化障碍),无法适应当地人的生活,或不理解当地人做某事时为什么会采取那样的方式,等等。注意:遇到的问题可能是多方面的,要从多角度分析,一般情况下,也不只是一个问题,所以,要按条来答。 (2)分析问题:要求你具体分析一下这位老师或某人遇到这种困难是什么原因引起的,主要是文化方面的原因,可能还涉及到一些他所采用的文化策略等。比如,他由于对对方国家文化不了解,对方国家可能很注重“隐私”,而在我们国家这不被看做是“隐私”。同时要求你分析出我们的母语文化具有什么样的特点,最主要的是和对方国家有什么不一样,哪里不一样,因此造成了他在文化方面的不适应,以至于教学和生活中都出现了问题或遇到了困难。关于他所使用的文化策略,主要就是他自身有没有做到尊重当地的文化,有没有试着去融入这种文化,接受这种文化,还是一味的采取排斥策略,认为自己的一切都好,别人的一切都不好。这就是分析问题了。 (3)解决问题:这是最关键的部分了。怎么解决他遇到的问题或困难?你自己提出个对策就行了,当然,要根据一些你所知道的文化常识和应对策略。比如首先尊重当地文化,多和当地人交流,努力让自己适应当地人的文化和生活方式,做到求同存异,等等。这里需要注意的就是,有些文化的知识是很灵活的,比如中国人的谦虚、中庸的思想等等,都是我们日常生活就知道的,就是稍微总结一下,理顺一下,就能答题了。关于这个,如果时间还来得及,就看一下程裕祯的《中国文化要略》,看一下中国文化的特点等,很多东西是很细致的,自己要稍加总结。如果时间不是很充分了,就把刘珣的《对外汉语教育学引论》上的关于“跨文化交际”的那个章节仔细看一下,我觉得应对这道题应该够用了。 2.答题方法:其实思路清晰了就很好弄了,老师会看你的逻辑分析能力。强烈建议大家一定要分条论述,千万别想到哪说到哪,写出一大片,阅卷老师还得自己去给你找点,这样,老师会很疲劳的,老师最不喜欢的就是这种思维混乱的。所以说,大家答题时我觉得可以按两种方法来写: 第一种:按发现问题---分析问题---解决问题来写,一共三条,然后在每条的下边分几个小点,因为发现的问题肯定不止一个,相应的分析问题和解决问题也会不止一条。 第二种:按一共出现了几个问题分条,第一条,问题1:发现问题--分析问题--解决问题;问题2:发现问题--分析问题--解决问题;问题3--以此类推。 总结一下,以上两种方法都各有利弊,因为有时不同的问题是由同一个原因产生的,或者需要同一种解决策略。所以,大家可以根据自己的喜好来选择其中一种。按以上的问题全部分析完以后,最好再来个综述,大致总结一下,字数不用太多,就是有个小结尾。 最后,要跟大家说的是,字数和字迹的问题。这个案例分析要求是1000字以上

如何培养英语跨文化交际能力 中宁五中张永宏 摘要:本文通过分析我国英语教学现状,探索英语教学中培养跨文化交际能力的必要性,具体分析“跨文化交际能力”的三大组成,思考培养英语跨文化交际能力的具体方法。 关键词:跨文化交际语义文化语用文化 多年来,我国的英语教学主要采用传统的教学方法,即传统的听说法“with its end less and mind-numbing repetitive drills”和古老的以教师为中心的语法—翻译法。教师往往只注重学生语言形式的正确与否或使用是否流畅,而较少注重结合语言使用的场合来培养学生综合运用的能力。学生在这种教学模式下,经过十几年的英语学习,即使是有些成绩很好的学生也不能用所学的英语同外国人进行有效地交流。为了改变这种现状,人们必然对英语教学提出新的要求。而跨文化交际能力的培养却能在一定程度上弥补传统教学的这种缺陷。 首先,何为跨文化交际呢?“跨文化交际”的英语名称是“intercultural communication”或“cross-cultural communication”,它既指本族语者与非本族语者之间的交际,也指任何在语言和社会文化背景方面有差异的人们之间的交际。由于不同的民族所处的生态、物质社会及宗教等环境的不同,因而各自的语言环境产生了不同的社会文化、风土人情和语言习惯等诸语境因素,造成人们不同的说话方式或习惯话语。这就可能使交际双方对对方的话语做出不准确地推论,从而产生冲突、误会或交际的故障。 跨文化交际能力就是针对文化冲突提出来的,它是一种在理解、掌握外国文化知识与交际技能的基础上,灵活处理跨文化交际中出现的实际问题的能力。 一、英语教学中培养跨文化交际能力的必要性。 1、近年来, 随着改革开放步伐的加快, 对外交往日益频繁, 国与国之间的交流也越来越 广泛, 特别是社会信息化提高, 国际互联网的开通使更多的人足不出户便涉及到跨 文化交际。中国成功地加入WTO后,国际市场对能用英语熟练有效地交际的复合型人才的大量需求给外语教学提出了新的挑战,所以培养跨文化交际能力有其现实意义。 2、培养跨文化交际能力有助于我们要打破以往“就语言教语言”的模式,把交际因素引 进到英语教学中来,在英语教学过程中揭示那些隐伏在语言背后的,易引起误会和冲突的文化因素。掌握语言不只是掌握语法、音位和语义规则,还必须考虑到外国社会文化背景造成的语言之外的规则。 3、培养跨文化交际能力有利于处理好语言和文化的关系。语言和文化是不可分割的,二 者相互依存、相互影响。语言是文化的载体,又是文化的重要组成部分,也是文化的

《跨文化交际》课程教学大纲

《跨文化交际学》课程教学大纲 一、课程简介: 课程代码课程名称:跨文化交际学课程属性:公共必修课 学时:36 学分:2 课程内容: 《跨文化交际学》的主要内容是对中国文化和西方文化进行介绍并作对比研究, 授课内容主要涉及语言,文化和跨文化交际的话题。该课程有助于增强文化差异的敏感性,增强跨文化交际意识,有助于学生跨文化交际能力的提高。 二、课程教学大纲 《跨文化交际学》课程教学大纲 1、课程说明 该课程旨在扩大学生的知识面,对西方文化的不同层面有所了解,以提高学生的交际能力。在传统的教学中, 人们往往忽视文化的重要作用, 只注重语言能力的培养而未能顾及交际能力的提高。近年来国内学者认识到外语教学必须引进文化知识的对比,训练学生灵活运用语言知识, 更好地与外国人沟通, 减少和避免误解。该课程教学要求学生提高对文化差异的敏感性, 更有效地与外国人进行交际,为学生跨文化交际能力的提高奠定基础。 2、教学对象 全校本科学生 3、教学目的 该课程教学重点在于培养学生对英语国家文化的了解及跨文化交际意识, 提高驾驭英语语言的能力, 从而使其能得体地运用语言与操英语的外国人士进行交流。该课程授课形式以讲解为主,课堂讨论为辅。教师的讲授重点是帮助学生认识中西文化的异同,分析文化差异的根源, 帮助学生深化对西方文化的理解。中西文化的差异在表层上很容易识别,但对造成差异的原因却需追根溯源。东西方在历史,思维方式以及哲学等方面的差异则是造成中国学生对西方文化不解的主要原因,也是该课程的难点。 4、教学要求: 该课程要求学生全面掌握涉及跨文化交际中的问题,关于文化的定义和模式,基础理论,

比如集体主义与个体主义。该课程还讨论语言交际中的具体问题,比如介绍与问候,词语的使用,非言语交际,价值观念,对时间,空间的看法,对教育,工作的态度, 人际间的关系, 家庭观念,以及文化冲突,文化休克等问题。最后能考试合格。 5、教学基本内容及学时安排(总学时:36) 6、各章节教学要求及教学重点 第一章跨文化交际中的问题 本章主要教学内容: 举例说明中国人与英美人士交际中存在的误解或问题。 本章教学目的及要求: 要求学生认识到跨文化交际中文化意识的重要性。 本章教学重点及难点: 交际失败的深层原因不只是语言问题,而是价值观念,经济基础,道德观念等因素在起作用。

跨文化交际开题报告

关于跨文化交际中的禁忌问题 A Probe into the Differences of Taboo Between Western and Chinese Cultures (一)选题依据 在经济全球化的今天,国际交流日益频繁,尤其是跨文化交际也越来越频繁,在跨文化中的语用失误越来越受到人们的重视。禁忌是世界各民族之间普遍存在的一种文化现象,禁忌规范了人们的言语行为与社会交际,而中西文化的巨大差异直接导致了汉英禁忌语的迥异,就是禁忌语,跨文化交际是现代交际的重要组成部分,了解语言禁忌现象就成了最基本的要求,可以使跨文化交际更加得体,更清晰的展示出中西方禁忌语的异同,以便在跨文化交际中能避免出现言语不当的问题,并通过中西方禁忌语的异同研究出来。 (二)选题意义 禁忌是世界各民族之间普遍存在的一种文化现象,禁忌规范了人们的言语行为与社会交际。而中西文化的巨大差异直接导致了汉英禁忌语的迥异。所以,无论是在英语还是汉语中,我们都会遇到一些因传统或社会风俗不同,会引起对方强烈反感,这样便导致了有些词语我们要避免使用,就是禁忌语。在经济和信息日益全球化的今天,不同民族不同国家的人之间的交流也日益频繁。跨文化交际是现代交际的重要组成部分,了解语言禁忌现象就成了最基本的要求,可以使跨文化交际更加得体。 本选题重点关注日常交流中跨文化交际语的禁忌语,从语用学的角度出发,在跨文化交际的视野里,界定和区分了禁忌语的几种类型,分析了中西方禁忌语不同的种种原因,以期在注重语言知识的同时,避免不必要的交际失当,从而提高英语综合应用能力。在日常对话中避免语用失误的出现,即使出现也能很快认识并改正,而此篇论文的目的就是总结前人研究的成果,更清晰的展示出中西方禁忌语的异同,以便在跨文化交际中能避免出现言语不当的问题,并通过中西方禁忌语的异同研究出其折射的中西方文化的差异,这样可以更透彻的了解中西方文化,对于跨文化交际很有帮助。 (三)课题写作的目标 禁忌语是一种普遍的社会现象和语言现象,它与人们的日常生活和社会习惯有着紧密的联系,这在每个民族和每种语言中都有体现。中西方文化和信仰差异导致了禁忌语也存在着较大的差别。 于是,这篇论文要先陈诉清楚禁忌语的定义,来源,特征,然后总结出中西方禁忌语的异同,最后从这些异同中总结出产生中西方禁忌语相似和差异的原因,最终从这些原因中总结禁忌语折射在文化上的差异。了解了这种差异,才能避免的跨文化交际因为文化差异而发生一些问题,有助于更好地跨文化交际。 (四)课题的基本内容 Content

跨文化交际研究现状

跨文化交际研究现状 中国跨文化外语教学的研究有近 60年的历史,近些年来有了更快的发展。如今,外语教学中有关跨文化交际能力的培养已经引起了许多教育家,语言学家的极大关注。外语教学应当结合相关文化来进行,这一点似乎已经成为当今外语教学界的共识。近年来,文化成了热门话题,文章和论著都有不少。无论是讨论教学还是教材,教学大纲还是课程设计,几乎无一不强调外语教学中的文化导入,强调在习得语言的同时习得相关的文化。而我们的英语教学侧重于语言教学,对文化方面涉及不多致使学生一开口常常是“汉语思维,英语形式”。在跨文化交际中,交际双方若不能进入同一文化背景之中,就容易产生不解或误解,导致交际失败。正如托马斯(Thomas)指出:“语法错误从表层上能看出,受话者很容易发现这种错误,这种错误一旦发现,受话者便会认为说话者缺乏足够的语言知识,因此可以谅解。语用失误却不会被像语法错误一样看待。如果一个能说出一口流利英语的人出现语用失误,他可能会被认为缺乏礼貌或不友好,他在交际中的失误便不会被归咎于语言能力的缺乏,而会被归咎于他的粗鲁或敌意。” 跨文化交际能力的培养需要在外语教学中进行文化教学。现在外语教学中对跨文化交际能力的培养以及文化教学很多只停留在文化知识层面,这就要求教师在教学中必须加大文化信息量的导入,引导学生主动发觉文化差异方面的信息。只有这样,教师才能从根本上提高英语教学的质量,学生也才能有掌握实际运用语言的能力。如今跨文化交际能力的培养是勿庸置疑的,关键问题是在于如何培养。高一虹教授指出,新的跨文化交际能力的培养模式应该有以下特点:1.它以文化意识的培养为中心,有对文化多元性的意识和对差异的宽容态度,对异文化共情能力,以及对自身文化价值观念及行为方式的觉察和反省。2 .注重态度和情感层面,也包括认知层面,特别是批判性的反思能力。3. 不限于目的语文化,而是通用于与任何

跨文化交际案例分析

Case Study 1 Age and Status 两位同事的矛盾使一家数据处理公司的总经理遇到了麻烦。一方是一位踌躇满志的法裔加拿大小伙子,另一方是一位有特许签证的年长的中国女性,而此前两人确实很好的合作伙伴….. Case description: A manager in a data-processing company was having difficulty dealing with a conflict between a young, ambitious French Canadian male and his co-worker, an older Chinese woman who was on a special visa from China. She had recently become uncooperative and had made it clear to the manager that she would not be willing to travel to the capital with her co-worker to hold discussion with legislators about a new product with great enthusiasm. When the manager asked her what the problem was, he received no clear explanation. When he asked her co-worker, the young man had no insights to offer. The young French Canadian was clearly annoyed, however, that the Chinese woman was refusing to share her data with him. T hat meant he couldn’t make the presentation to the legislators because she had all the key data on her computer disks. The manager repeated questions to her but her “problem” got nowhere. So he changed his approach. He began explaining his concerns, as manger and as spokesperson for the company, about the upcoming meeting with legislators. His explanation about his position was unemotional. In that climate she then felt she could explain her position. She revealed she felt that that as an older, and to her mind, more senior person, she should not be sent to the capitol with a younger employee who would do the presentation of material she had worked hard to develop. That would diminish her status, she felt. The general manger knew the root of his headache. Questions: 1.What do you think caused the conflict? 2. What would you do to resolve the conflict if you were the general manager? 矛盾冲突 这位年长的中国女士投入极大的热情和精力开发产品.却在最后的关键时刻拒绝与年轻的同事一同去向议员做推介:当经理和同事问其原因.她并未做任何明确的回答:而当经理改变策略,不再直接询问原因,而是迂回地讲起自己的困境时,她才道出自己的顾虑。在这位资深年长的中国女士看来,同一位比她年轻的同事一同去国会,并且由对方来做推介会影响到她的地位和威信,因此她无法同意:原因分析 造成这一矛盾的文化因素有两方面.对地位、年龄的不同态度以及这种不同的表达方式。人对权力的认识因文化背景的不同而不同。根据霍夫斯特的调查研究,“低权力距离”国家的人强调个人的能力和信用,人与人之间权利和关系的平等,而.”高权力距离”国家,如中国、日本、纬国,强调地位、经验、年龄、资历等,人与人之间存在级别差距;因此在这位年轻的加拿大人看来,在工作上他与这位女士是平等的合作伙伴,并没有地位的差别,自己也有能力参与项目并做最后报告。而在这位中国女士看来,以自己的年龄、资历、以及工作中的付出,与一个年轻人一同去国会,并且由对方来做报告对她来说是一件丢面子的事: 另外.双方表达方式的不同也导致了矛盾的加深。根据霍尔的理论,加拿大是“低语境”国家,中国属于“高语境”文化国家,因此,当她的加拿大同事没有充分考虑到她所处的位置.而是直接问她原因时,这位中国女士采用了婉转回进的策略,没有直接说出自己的想法。而当经理改变方法迂回地说到自己的难处时,在这种语境下她才说出自己的顾虑。

跨文化交际笔记

第一章跨文化交际 一、什么是跨文化交际——具有不同文化背景的人从事交际的过程 跨文化交际之所以在今天日益引起人们的注意,主要原因是由于交通工具的进步与通讯手段的发展,使得不同国家、不同种族、不同民族的人能够频繁地接触和交往。 L.S.Harms认为,在世界范围内的交际经历了五个阶段:语言的产生;文字的使用;印刷技术的发明;近百年交通工具的进步和通讯手段的迅速发展;跨文化交际。近二十年来的交际是以跨文化为特征的。 二、对跨文化交际的不同理解 有的人认为每个人在文化上都是独特的,所以任何两个人之间的交际都是跨文化交际。 有的人认为,不同国籍人们之间的文化差异与不同职业的人们之间的文化差异并没有什么本质上的区别,只是程度上的差异。 有的人认为,跨文化交际研究应该把重点放在亚文化系统的语篇系统方面。 有的人认为,作大范围的国与国之间的对比对于改进跨文化交际益处不大,应该把眼光放在更具体的文化差异上。跨文化交际研究的范围应该也包括地区、职业、年龄、性别等方面的文化差异的探讨。 文化通常不是指个人的行为,而是指一个群体的生活方式和习惯。作者认为作跨国、跨种族、跨民族研究不仅应该是跨文化交际研究包括的内容,而且应该是放在首位的。至于地区、阶级、阶层、职业、性别、年龄等不同层次的差异也应该给予关注。至于个人之间的差异的研究只是在我们把他们当做群体的代表时才有意义。在研究一个国家的文化特点时,我们的眼光首先应集中在它的主流文化上,其次才注意它的亚文化和地区文化的特点。 主流文化亚文化地区文化小群体文化 (不同年龄、职业、性别群体的文化)第二章跨文化交际学 一、跨文化交际学在美国Intercultural Communication 与人类学、心理学、传播学关系密切 1.首先在美国兴起。美国有来自各个国家的移民,有各自的文化系统和风俗习惯,逐渐在美国社会形成了多元文化的格局;美国与各国交往频繁。 2.Edwar Hall 《无声的语言》跨文化交际学的奠基之作。认为不同文化背景的人们在使用时间、空间表达意义方面表现出明显的差异。(对时间、空间、交际的关系作了深入探讨) 3.1970年是具有重要意义的一年,在这一年,国际传播学会承认跨文化交际学是传播学的一个分支,成立了跨文化交际学分会。1972年,第一届跨文化交际学国际会议,日本东京。 4.70年代,影响最大的书籍。《跨文化交际学选读》 5.跨文化交际学内容:
