The Functions of Cross-cultural Communication in English

Learning

What’s culture? Culture is complex. The major institutions within the culture contain church, government, education, military, mass media, monetary systems, and so on. So to give a definition of culture is more difficult than to give an illustration of its influence. Culture refers to the patterns of customs, traditions, social habits, values, beliefs and the language of a society. Within each society people will find a national culture. As culture is so inclusive, it permeates all men’s behaviors. Because of international contacts, people in the world keep in frequent touch with each other.

Cross-cultural communication occurs when a member of one culture produces a message for consumption by a member of another culture. Cross-cultural communication is also called the intercultural communicati on. It is a new edge discipline. Cross-cultural communication refers to co mmunication between peoples of different languages. It also refers to the communication between the different ethnic groups of the same language. Cross-cultural communication is a field of study that looks at how people

from different cultural backgrounds endeavor to communicate between p eople from different cultures or different backgrounds.

Language, as a concrete system of signs and has its own significance i n the culture communication. It is an important means of communication; it is also the carrier of culture and a part of culture. Any language was bo rn with formation of its culture, develops with the development of culture , and in most cases, perishes with death of its culture. Language, as a con crete system of signs, has its own significance in the culture communicati on the basic purpose of foreign language teaching is to achieve intercultur al communication and communicate with people from different cultural b ackgrounds.

Language and culture are interrelated, interaction and mutual checks. Language is a part of culture, and language difference is culture difference essentially. We should also learn the culture of the natives so as to get into acculturation while learning a English. Generally, people are accustomed to use the thinking pattern and culture of their first language to replace the blind spot of the English information, and lead to half the result with twice the effort when they are learning English. In fact, one cannot learn English well until he really understands the cultural connotation of this language.

As an English learner, we should be clearly aware of the conflicts in cultural background .With the strength of open-door to the outside world,

more and more western countries go into our field of vision .So when we learning English in cross-cultural communication. The multinational business, cross-cultural economic and social interaction provide us with more and more cultural conflicts .However , it is not a simple matter because we face great challenges and difficulties . Therefore, it is necessary to keep close eyes on these conflicts.

In a word, cross-cultural communication is communication

between people whose cultural perceptions and symbols systems are disti nct enough to alter the communication event. It centers on significant diff erences reading social relations and concept of universe from different pe rspectives such as behavior that can cause frustration in communications and contacts. And cross-cultural communication is indispensable in English learning.

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

《跨文化交际学》选修课试卷2011-2012学年第二学期 题目:中西方非言语交际的差异姓名:********* 学号:******** 院系:****** 专业:应用心理学

中西方非言语交际的差异 【摘要】:世界全球化、一体化进程日益加快,中西文化的交流与合作越来越多,非言语交际的重要性也越来越明显。但是,中西文化赋予非言语行为的不同内涵,也带来了交际上的障碍。本文通过理解非言语交际的定义,着重论述了非言语交际中中国和西方国家上差异,以发现非言语行为在中西文化的交流与合作活动中不同的文化含义及作用,从而避免文化冲突,增强跨文化交际能力,帮助人们踏平社交的道路,成功实现跨文化交际。 【关键词】:非言语交际;中西方;差异;跨文化交际 一、非言语交际定义 人类交流有两种形式:言语交际和非言语交际,这两种形式在人类沟通的过程中都发挥了重要的作用。非言语交际是指所有超越语言的交际行为(1),它充和完善了言语交际的不足,是整个沟通过程中必不可少的重要组成部分。 非言语有目光接触、面部表情、姿势表达、空间语言手语等多种表现形式。人类在进行交流、表达思想、传递信息时,除了使用语言进行传达外,大量的信息还依靠非语言符号。非言语在传递信息和表达情感中具有语言所不能替代的功能。萨莫瓦曾说:“在面对面的交际中,信息的社交内容只有35%左右是语言行为,其它都是通过非语言行为传递的。”(2)(Samovar,1985:155)人们通过服神、面部表情、手势、身姿等诸多无声的体态语,将有声语言形象化、情感化、生动化,以达到先声夺人、耐人寻味的效果,且能充分弥补有声语言表达的乏力和不足,特别是人类在“词不达意”“只可意会不可言传”的情况下,非言语就能发挥其独特的作用,圆满表达情意,达到“此时无声胜有声”的效果。 礼仪,是物质文明和精神文明共同作用产生的成果,是特殊的文化组成形式,其实质还是文化。不同国家之间的诸多差异造就了各自独特的礼仪文化。中国和西方国家在很多方面都有所不同,如地理环境、历史发展、生产方式和社会制度、宗教和传统习俗、民族心理和思维方式、语言和文字以及价值观念(3)等。然而正是这些普遍存在的差异性导致了各国礼仪的不同。因此,在研究跨文化交际之前,我们最重要的任务就是尽量多地了解不同的国家或地区的不同礼仪。 二、中西方差异在非言语交际中的体现 1、正式的就餐礼仪 筷子是中国人就餐时使用最多的餐具,所有的食物都置于餐桌中央,搭配米饭的菜肴也不止一种。菜肴由人们各自从盘中夹食。然而在西方,通常一套正式的餐具会包括许多个不同用途的叉子、汤匙和餐刀。每个人都会有自己的一份食物,他们不会从同一个盘子里共同夹食。

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

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

跨文化交际期末

定义题 1. What is “intercultural communication”? P6 refer to communication between people whose cultural backgrounds are distinct enough to alter their communication event. There are three kinds of things you need to learn if you want to be able to communicate effectively with Westerners. First, you need to learn a foreign language, usually English. Second, you should learn as much as possible about Western cultures. However, studying English language and Western culture is not enough. You should also learn something about what happens when people from different cultures try to communicate with each other —in other words, "intercultural communication." 2.What is a culture? P13 A culture is essentially a group of people who carry many of the same ideas in their heads. Culture: can been seen as shared knowledge, what people need to know in order to act appropriately in a given culture. Culture: a learned set of shared interpretations about beliefs, values, and norms, which affect the behavior of a relatively large group of people 3.What are stereotypes?P13 Stereotypes means very broad generalizations such as “British people are polite,”“Americans are friendly”, and so forth. It is a derogatory word. It means that image, idea, character that has become fixed or standardized in a conventional form without individuality and is therefore false and shallow. Stereotypes may have a basis in fact, but they are too broad and shallow, and they give us the mistaken idea that a people’s culture can be summed up easily in a few short , simple statements. Stereotypes are also dangerous because they may trick us into believing that knowing a few stereotypes is the same thing as understanding another culture. 4.What does “interpretation” means?P24 A very important aspect of intercultural communication is “interpretation”, t he process of deciding what foreigners’ words and actions mean and why they do what they do. For example, when Xiao Li tries to understand why the taxi driver asked for so much money, she is “interpreting” his behavior. 5.I n dividualist p32 Individualist culture is one in which people tend to view themselves as individuals and emphasize the needs of individuals. In general, Western culture tends to be individualist. They view themselves as independent of collectives; are primarily motivated by their own preferences, needs, rights, and the contacts they have established with others; give priority to their personal goals over the goals of others; and emphasize rational analyses of the advantages and disadvantages to associating with others. 6.Collectivist P32 Collectivist culture is one in which people tend to view themselves as members of groups (families, work units, tribes, nations), and usually consider the needs of the group to be more important than the needs of individuals. Most Asian cultures, including China's, tend to be collectivist.

第二语言教学跨文化交际案例分析 案例分析与写作(共40分) 七、请根据以下材料,按照“发现问题——分析问题——解决问题”的思路,写一篇1500字以上的案例分析,要求观点明确、材料 充实、结构严谨、条理清楚、语言规范、卷面清洁。 材料: 李晓雨是云南大学的一名毕业生,毕业后通过汉办的志愿者选拔,被派往泰国,成为一名汉语教师志愿者。她性格一直比较开朗,所以当她只身一人前往泰国北部的一个中学任教时,也是满怀憧憬;但是她却发现来机场接她的学校人员对她很冷漠,从机场到学校8个小时的路途上几乎没与她说一句话。她知道绝不是因为语言不通。李晓雨是个爱说爱笑的人,她几次想打破沉默,但一直不明白自己到底在什么地方得罪了来接她的人,还是别人根本不想和自己说话。她只好一个人看着车窗外本来很美但不再觉得美的景色。到了目的地,司机和接待的人把她放到一间小房子里,就走了。房间里只有一张平板床,没有任何铺盖。一个初来乍到的女孩,好几个小时没吃饭,没喝水,又不知道商店在那里,身上也没有当地的钱币。晓雨真的有些受不了了,趴在床板上泪水忍不住簌簌而下。她问自己到底做错了什么,为什么别人对自己如此冷漠,为什么和她想象中热情好客的泰国人差距这么大。第一天到学校上班,她的感觉仍然不好,似乎每个学生和老师都对她很冷,没有真诚的微笑,没有主动的招呼。这下可把晓雨急坏了,她开始注意自己每一个细小的举止言行,生怕别人不喜欢。她一直觉得是因为自己做得还不够好,所以别人不接受自己,甚至不接收中文老师的课程。 晓雨是个倔强、好强的女孩。她不服输,认真地向泰国老师学习他们对待学生和同事的方式,积极参加他们的各种活动。有一次她在办公室里看到一个30岁左右的女教师批改了一个学生的作业之后在那个初中学生的脸颊上亲吻了一下。晓雨觉得自己长这么大从来没接受甚至看到过老师亲吻学生的,然而在这里她发现效果真的很好,那个老师和学生的关系非常融洽和谐。在那个教师的鼓励下,她也开始尝试亲吻学生的脸颊,她发现效果出人意料的好!越来越多的人认识了晓雨并成为了她的朋友。她慢慢体会了到冰在融化的感觉。有一次一个老教师来问她是否要去参加学校的升国旗活动,她爽快地回答说:“好啊!”那位老教师有些惊讶地说:“你们中国来的老师不是不愿意参加我们的升国旗仪式吗?你是真的愿意还是假的?”她坚定地说:“我愿意!”从那之后,她每周都很早来到升泰国国旗的地方集合。老师们和同学们对她的态度都发生了很大的变化,这次升旗成了一个分水岭。 答案:案例中的李晓雨同学只身一人被派往泰国,成为一名汉语教师志愿者。在她刚刚到达目的地时,却发现前来接他的当地学校人员态度并不像她想象的那样热情,反而十分冷淡,对于初来乍到的她也没有给予相应的帮助和照顾。在接下来的工作中,李晓雨发现,学校里其他泰国老师对她的态度也并不热情。不仅没有帮助她适应教学工作,甚至连主动的招呼也没有。学生也没有和她建立起和睦融洽的师生关系,这样的问题还影响到了汉语的教学。 从案例中我们可以了解到,李晓雨与当地人之间交际的问题并不是由语言障碍所引起的,文化障碍则是最主要的原因。 跨文化交际过程大体上可分为蜜月期,挫折,调整和适应四个阶段。李晓雨在一开始对泰国人抱有一种思维定式,即原有的“文化成见”。在她的想象中,泰国人是“热情好客”的。而当她受到接待人员的冷漠对待时,想象与实际情况之间的巨大差距使她很难及时调整好自己的心态来适应这一状况,甚至不断地质疑自己的行为。这使得李晓雨在同泰国人的跨文化交际中迅速从蜜月期进入到了挫折阶段。 在接下来一段时间的工作中,李晓雨开始注意自己的行为举止,直到她看到一位泰国教师在批改了学生的作业后亲吻了学生的脸颊。这件事给李晓雨带来的触动很大,因为她以前从未有过教师亲吻学生的经历。这部分是由于中国的传统文化一直强调“尊师重道”,教师常常是高高在上不容冒犯的对象,泰国教师与学生间亲吻脸颊这样的动作在中国是绝少会发生的。部分也与中国人含蓄、内敛的性格传统有关。因此我们不难看出,母语文化与异文化的差异也是造成跨文化交际障碍的一个重要原因。由于对异文化的不了解,很容易将母语文化的思维方式带入跨文化交际中,以致于加深双方的隔阂。在李晓雨意识到这一问题之后,她也开始尝试按照当地人的方式来进行交际,并尝试亲吻了学生的脸颊,效果出乎她意料的好,她与当地人的交际也开始融洽起来。这时的李晓雨已能够逐步克服母语文化与异文化之间差异带来的交际障碍,并逐步进入到调整阶段。 案例中提及的另一个重要事件是升旗事件。李晓雨热情爽快地同意参加泰国学校的升旗仪式,使当地教师十分惊讶,从此其他泰国老师和学生对她的态度也发生了很大变化。这次事件是一个分水岭,李晓雨开始进入适应阶段,这与她坚持不懈地融入异文化的努力是分不开的。另一方面我们可以从泰国老师表现出的惊讶看出,之前学校里的中国教师在与当地人的跨文化交际中并没有采取正确的文化策略,也没有积极尝试与异文化的沟通,因此给对方造成了中国人不尊重泰国文化的负面印象,这也是最初的接待人员对李晓宇态度冷漠的原因。由此可以看出正确的文化策略在跨文化交际中具有重要作用,它不仅会影响到自身交际的正常进行,还会对本群体中其他成员的跨文化交际带来一定影响。 对于一名李晓雨这样的汉语教师来说,在进行正常的汉语教学之前,先要实现同当地人,特别是同学生的和谐交际。通过上文对案例中提及到的问题的分析我们能够认识到,在进行跨文化交际之前首先要尊重当地文化,应当多了解,多吸收异文化的文化知
