英语跨文化交际案例分析

Revision for the final test Encounters at least 5 possible explanations U10 Grades P99 Perhaps the professor feels that students have a right to have their opinion considered in the grading process Maybe the professor asks students to give themselves grades because she wants them to reflect on their own performance She feels students will learn better if they evaluate themselves It is possible that the professor doesnt feel grades are very important and wants to minimize the pressure of grades Perhaps the professor wants to know students opinion of their own work because it will be helpful information for her as she decides their grades Possibly the professor values highly the students ability of self-reflection And she believes this is just the best way for them to reflect Maybe western teachers tend to believe that it is fairer for students if their own voices are included in deciding their final grades Maybe the taxi driver is trying to cheat Lee Perhaps there are extra charges for luggage that Lee doesnt know about It may be that the driver has included a tip for himself perhaps because he knows Lee is a foreigner and thinks she doesnt know that she should tip One possibility is that there are extra charges for tolls 过路费 that Lee doesnt know about It is possible that there is

the meter hasnt been adjusted yet Encounter 1

U1 The Taxi P1 6 Maybe the driver has included a tip for himself –

an

unreasonably large one 7 Possibly the driver has included a

generous –but not entirely unseasonal –tip for himself perhaps because he knows

she is a foreigner and thinks she doesnt know that she should tip or cause in the past other foreigners have given him very stingy tips Ms Kelsen may feel that teachers should not accept gifts especially valuable ones from students In the West it is rare for individual students to give teachers gifts especially expensive ones Maybe Ms Kelsen does not think it right to accept a gift especially a valuable one just for doing her duty as a teacher Perhaps Ms Kelsen is afraid

that other people will find out that she accepted the gift and they will think she took a bribe

Encounter 2

U2 The gift P13 Ms Kelsen may feel that she only did her duty so she has done nothing to deserve such a special gift Ms Kelsen may feel uncomfortable because she assumes Frank cannot afford to give expensive gifts Ms Kelsen may feel that accepting the gift would put her under obligation to Frank Most Westerners feel that accepting a valuable gift entails a degree of reciprocity 酬答 Maybe the teacher really isnt very interested in helping Hal and his friends She was just being polite in offering to help them Perhaps the teacher is willing to help some but

afraid that she will end up doing most of the work in running the club so she is trying to minimize expectations It is likely that the teacher already teaches English all day and doesnt want to do any more Encounter

从中西文化角度分析 1 Telephone courtesy

Kathy and David a couple from the US signed a one-year contract to work in China both were extroverted and soon made some Chinese friends Before long people started calling them at home David was sometimes away on business trips for a few days and if someone looked for him Kathy

often would find the conversation awkward Where did he go the caller typically

would ask Can I pass on any message Kathy asked politely trying to avoid the question Is he out of town the caller was usually very persistent Yes can I help you in any way Kathy tried to be polite but she could not help feeling uncomfortable Chinese perspective In China when someone calls a person who is not home where is heshe or where did heshe go are natural questions By asking them the caller may not necessarily be interested in finding out exactly where the person is Usually the questions are asked simply as a way to carry on the phone conversation before hanging up It is typical Chinese telephone courtesy American perspective In America information about ones daily actions should be private and not generally shared with just others Questions about where someone went or if heshe is out of town are private and hence asking them is seen as rude If the caller had to speak with David before a certain date or time that person could say so by stating something like Yes Id like to leave a message and could indicate the date before which heshe needs to talk with David 2

Criticizing a teacher

Shortly after Raymond started teaching English in an English

training center in China the director told him in a round-about way that the

students were unhappy about some of his method and had made some suggestions about his teaching Raymond felt very embarrassed not just

because the students had some concerns about his teaching style but because they had complained directly to the director Chinese perspective In china preserving good relationships and harmony between people is generally considered very important so people generally try to avoid telling a person directly that heshe did something wrong When it is a must to tell it is usually done through a third party In this case the students thought they would upset the teacher if talking to him directly and in person To avoid face-to-face embarrassment it is good to keep

their relationship by turning to the director their boss as the mediator about the issue American perspective Americans like to maintain a harmonious working environment too However the way they do so is

different from that in china In America students would normally expect and be expected to speak directly with the teacher If students go to a teachers supervisor their action would be seen as a state that the teacher is not respected or trusted by the students and that they have

to go above his heard to bring down the power of his boss on him In this case actually Raymond must have felt terribly hurt If the student come directly to Raymond he could have

responded directly to their suggestions and thus avoided the embarrassment of being criticized by his superior 3 its a compliment Lu was invited to a Christmas party organized by graduate students Most of the people there were Americans After a few drinks Lu noticed

that people became more relaxed The things they said to each other and

their body language soon turned very flirting 风骚的 Men and women would lean

against each other in the couch almost like boyfriends and

girlfriends

One male graduate student sat behind Lu She could felt that his hands were playing with her long hairs She turned around and wanted to stop him but before she said anything he said you look very seductive tonight Lu felt terrible do I Im sorry I dont mean to seduce you The student laughed Why are you feeling sorry Youre very attractive Its a compliment Lu was

confused She did not know how to respond Chinese perspective

Flirting is associated with having a low moral standard It is seen

as wrong and would usually arouse disgust And flirting with another person would be the basis for a fight between spouses or a boy and girl friend

American perspective

To westerners flirting is not necessarily seen as a serious expression of interest in another person It is usually something done just for fun It makes both persons feel attractive and special Even married people may flirt with someone elses spouse Between stranger the flirting may just

take the form of discrete分散的 looks and smiles perhaps some

light-hearted words Friends might be a bit bolder in their words and might touch each other casually on the arm or hand 4 Identity Girl-ness

As a visiting professor in an American university Chunghwa was

invited to give a lecture to a group of American students he talked about university students in China During the question-and –answer period

after the lecture one female student asked a question that surprised Chunghwa when you talked about female students you referred to them as girls Why Because they are girls thats what they are called Chunghwa tried to answer but he knew he did not really understand the intend to the question I dont quite understand your question Im afraid In the States we call ourselves women if were old enough to go to the

university calling us girls is insulting Chinese perspective In china girl means someone who is young and single In a way it makes a female sound more desirable to be called a girl rather than a woman For most people woman means someone who is married and who probably is not young In fact most single Chinese females such as university students would be insulted to be called women American perspective What to call females is a sensitive and sometimes confusing issue in the west In formal public settings it is customary to call any woman who is past puberty [pjubt] 青春期 a woman even though she may not be legally old enough to vote marry

purchase alcoholic beverages drive a car or sign a contract This terminology became widespread during the womens liberation movement in the 1960s The term girl is sometimes interpreted to be demeaning or disrespectful

Obviously Li Li has gone through distinct stages in the process her adaptation to the American cultural environment: honeymoon period (Letter 1), when she was fascinated and excited by almost everything in the United States and felt elated to be in the new culture; culture shock (Letter 2), when she was flooded with many problems that she had not been prepared for and became extremely homesick; initial adjustment (Letter 3), when she learned more about American culture and cultural adaptation and began to feel much better; mental isolation (Letter 4), when she felt frustrated and became even hostile towards Americans; and acceptance period (Letter 5), when she began to tralize the positive and negative aspects of the country and have a more balanced perspective about her experiences there.

浅谈跨文化交际在小学英语教学中重要性

浅谈跨文化交际在小学英语教学中的重要性 东方市第三小学符将娇 “跨文化交际”教学在英语教学中占有非常重要的地位，在小学阶段更是如此。在小学英语教学中，英语教师可根据小学生的认知水平、思维特点，以课堂教学作为“跨文化交际”教学的主要途径，在课堂教学过程中灵活运用各种教学方法；把课外活动作为实现文化教学的重要途径，充分利用生活中的各种资源来开展“跨文化交际”教学。 一、小学英语“跨文化交际”教学的重要性 传统的小学英语教学一般侧重于语音、词汇、语法的传授和机械的句型练习，往往忽视英美国家文化背景知识的渗透。重语言轻文化的教学方式导致学生不能灵活地运用英语语言。小学生只能记忆单词，了解课文内容，完成课后练习，但不理解其文化背景知识。语言是文化的载体，学习一个国家的语言，必须学习这个国家的文化背景知识。《英语课程标准》明确指出：语言有丰富的文化内涵。接触和了解英语国家文化有益于对英语的理解和使用，有益于加深对本国文化的理解与认识，有益于培养世界意识。因此，在教学中，教师应根据学生的年龄特点和认知能力，逐步扩展文化知识的内容和范围。 小学英语“跨文化交际”教学势在必行。因为我们必须要在小学这个打基础的重要阶段就把“跨文化交际”教学放在突出的地位，让学生从一开始就在有文化背景的环境下学到地道的英语。在小学英语教学中进行“跨文化交际”教学，也是新英语课程对小学英语教师提出的一个新要求。

二、小学英语“跨文化交际”教学的实现方式与途径 教学实践及理论告诉我们，小学英语“跨文化交际”教学的主要实现方式与途径应以课堂教学为主，而课外活动则可作为其重要的实现途径。 1.课堂教学是进行文化教学的主要方式 就目前而言，课堂教学依然是教学活动的主要方式，而且学生和教师在课堂上的时间也最长。课堂教学是进行文化教学的主要阵地，教师应把英语语言教学置于跨文化的环境中，把跨文化交际列为英语教学的一个不可或缺的重要组成部分。 (1)对比差异，激活教材。教材是学生学习英语的重要资源，然而小学英语教材的编撰对文化项目没有作分门别类系统的介绍，在教材中只是以零星、不完整的形式出现，这就需要教师结合具体教学内容，将教材中那些有关英语国家文化背景知识和社会风俗习惯的典型实例挖掘出来，让学生领会英汉文化的差异，以提高学生的语言交际能力。如课文中经常出现的打招呼用语，中西方的差别相当大。中国人通常用“去哪啊？”“忙吗？”“吃了吗?” 等等表示友好的问候，并不关心答语的实质内容。而在英国人看来，这些问题是非常奇怪的，也容易产生歧义甚至文化冲突。英国人见面问好通常用Hello / Hi / Good morning /How are you？等等。在教学过程中，教师应努力激活教材内容，进行文化比较，及时点拨学生领会文化异同现象。通过这样的教学方法，才能真正让学生了解语言背景知识，培养其跨文化交际，学以致用，有效地提高其在真实场景下的语言运用和交际能力。 (2)巧设悬念，激起探究。学源于思，思起于疑。教师要巧妙设疑，创设悬念，使学生产生求知欲和探索欲。在小学英语教学中，教师通过巧设悬念，能让学生更加深刻地理解中外文化的差异。

Cross –cultural communication Thesis statement: This paper is mainly talking about the culture differences between several countries. Outline: Chapter 1: Language and culture in communication Chapter2: Culture shock Chapter3: What’s in a name? Chapter4: Social interaction Chapter 5: Roles and relations Chapter6: Non-verbal communication Chapter 7: In other words. Chapter 8: From a primitive Tribe to a Global Village Conclusion Chapter 1: Language and culture in communication There is no denying the fact that out daily lives depend largely on communication, without it we can’t know each other. So, we should come to realize that communication is of great importance. What is communication? In total, communication can be divided into two parts; they are verbal communication and non-verbal communication. However, different people hold different opinions about communication. In general, if there is communication, there must have 4 cases: there are at least two or more people, some contact between communicators, a language shared by communicators, an exchange of information has taken place. I just take the fist one for example. Suppose there is one person, there can’t be communication. Otherwise, he may talk to himself. Communication not just exist in human-beings There are five kinds of communications they are human communication, animal communication, human-animal communication, human machine communication, machine communication. So, Animals and machines can also communicate with each other. For human beings, how can we communicate with each other? Experts say that there are various kinds of communication. Nowadays, there are different kinds of tools for us to communicate .For people we can use telephone and computer to communicate with each other. By them, finally we can receive message. What is social situation? When there are two or more people gather to do a job or an activity, then it creates a social situation. That is to say, an individual working alone can not constitute a social s A social situation may have two definitions. One is given by the community, and the other by the participants. Finally, we should notice that being polite plays a crucial role in

新编跨文化交际英语教程 参考答案

Unit 1 Communication Across Cultures Reading I Intercultural Communication：An Introduction Comprehension questions 1. Is it still often the case that “everyone?s quick to blame the alien” in the contemporary world? This is still powerful in today‘s soci al and political rhetoric. For instance, it is not uncommon in today‘s society to hear people say that most, if not all, of the social and economic problems are caused by minorities and immigrants. 2. What?s the difference between today?s intercultural contact and that of any time in the past? Today‘s intercultural encounters are far more numerous and of greater importance than in any time in history. 3. What have made intercultural contact a very common phenomenon in our life today? New technology, in the form of transportation and communication systems, has accelerated intercultural contact; innovative communication systems have encouraged and facilitated cultural interaction; globalization of the economy has brought people together; changes in immigration patterns have also contributed to intercultural encounter. 4. How do you understand the sentence “culture is everything and everywhere”? Culture supplies us with the answers to questions about what the world looks like and how we live and communicate within that world. Culture teaches us how to behave in our life from the instant of birth. It is omnipresent. 5. What are the major elements that directly influence our perception and communication? The three major socio-cultural elements that directly influence perception and communication are cultural values, worldview (religion), and social organizations (family and state). 6. What does one?s family teach him or her while he or she grows up in it? The family teaches the child what the world looks like and his or her place in that world. 7. Why is it impossible to separate our use of language from our culture? Because language is not only a form of preserving culture but also a means of sharing culture. Language is an organized, generally agreed-upon, learned symbol system that is used to represent the experiences within a cultural community. 8. What are the nonverbal behaviors that people can attach meaning to? People can attach meaning to nonverbal behaviors such as gestures, postures, facial expressions,eye contact and gaze, touch, etc. 9. How can a free, culturally diverse society exist? A free, culturally diverse society can exist only if diversity is permitted to flourish without prejudice and discrimination, both of which harm all members of the society. Reading II The Challenge of Globalization Comprehension questions 1. Why does the author say that our understanding of the world has changed? Many things, such as political changes and technological advances, have changed the world very rapidly. In the past most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. Such an existence, however, no longer prevails in the world. Thus, all people are faced with the challenge of understanding this changed and still fast changing world in which we live.

The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. 案例分析:印度女人可能觉得婚礼是一个葬礼,如果他们看到西方的新娘的白色礼服。这个案例反映了明喻和隐喻在文本。 Culture is like an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath. Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why . 文化是 像冰山:我们可以辨认颜色衣服的妇女所穿不同的文化,但我们不知道下面的值。文化是像水鱼游 在: 人们穿不同颜色的衣服为不同的上下文, 但他们通常是理所当然的,从不问为什么。 Case 4 (P18) Coconut-skating 椰子-溜冰:Case analysis: The case reflects the characteristics of culture.

This is decided by culture. In Chinese culture, people want to save face of both themselves and others, so they would not express their ideas directly. However, in the United States, unless you express yourself clearly and directly, the OtherS CannOt Understand you.中国学生想要美国学生理解底层的手段，他的话,但是美国学生用来 直接的交流方式。这是由文化决定的。在中国文化中,人们想要挽回面子的两个自己和他人,所以 他们不会直接表达自己的想法。然而,在美国,除非你清楚地表达自己,别人不能直接理解你。 Case 8 (P34) She HaS Three HandS 她有三个指针:ThiS CaSe Can refleCt the different CommUniCation StyleS between ChineSe and CanadianS.

While Chinese Culture stresses harmOny and emphasizes the relatiOnships between the COmmuniCatOrs.

Case 1 Girl-ness As a visiting professor in an American university, Zhang Hua was invited to give a lecture to a group of American students. He talked about university students in China. During the question-and-answer period after the lecture, one female s tudent asked a question that surprised Zhang Hua. “When you talked about female students, you referred to them as girls. Why?” “Because they are girls. That’s what they are called,” Zhang Hua tried to answer, but he knew he did not really understand the in tent of the question. “ I don’t quite understand your question, I’m afraid.” “In the States, we call ourselves ‘ women’ if we’re old enough to go to the university. Calling us ‘girls’ is insulting.” Do Chinese female college students prefer to be called women? Case 2 Many years ago, a Chinese man showed a photo of his wife to some American visitors. Out of courtesy, they all said,” She is very beautiful.” Also out of courtesy, the man replied with what he would have done in Chinese under the circumstance,” Where! Where!” Quite taken aback, nobody said anything for a moment, until the most ingenious one among the visitors, taking another look at the photo, said, “Oh, everywhere!” What did the Chinese intend to mean by replying with “ Where! Where!”? Case 1 Girl-ness As a visiting professor in an American university, Zhang Hua was invited to give a lecture to a group of American students. He talked about university students in China.

如何培养英语跨文化交际能力

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

《英语跨文化交际》课程教学大纲-

《英语跨文化交际》课程教学大纲 课程编号：1233201 课程名称：英语跨文化交际 总学时：16学时 试验或上机学时：无 先修课及后续课：先修课：涉外礼仪 一、课程说明 1.课程性质：本课程是继《涉外礼仪》之后的专业必修课。 2.教学目标及意义： 本课程是与专业基础课同时开设的专业课，旨在通过学习跨文化交际基础理论，结合涉外礼仪实践，分析跨文化交际案例，提高跨文化交际意识，并在语言学习的同时，更多关注相关国家的文化，特别是通过与本族文化的对比，提高跨文化交际能力。 3. 教学内容与教学要求： 英语专业教学大纲强调，在语言学习过程中要培养学生的跨文化交际意识，增强对文化差异的敏感性和宽容性，提高处理跨文化交际冲突的灵活性，即跨文化交际能力。 跨文化交际能力包括语言运用能力，相关国家文化知识以及相关专业的能力和交流能力。通常认为语言运用能力特指外语知识和外语技能，忽视了学习者对目的语国家的文化知识的要求，特别是灵活运用已有的本国和目的国的相同之处，相似之处和差异进行跨文化交流的能力。 交际的主要媒介是语言但语言并非唯一的媒介。诸多非语言手段，如手势，面部表情，时间和空间的使用等，都具有重要的交际功能。而任何交际，无论是语言的还是非语言的，都是在特定文化环境中进行的，必然受到该文化中价值观念、思维方式、传统习惯、交往规约等的影响和制约。因此，这些文化内涵也是交际能力的重要组成部分。 不同文化之间，在方方面面都存在明显的差异。实践证明，文化背景不同的人进行交际时，这些差异常常成为障碍。要减少此类交际障碍，促成有效交流，跨文化意识与跨文化交际能力必不可少。 任何人都生活在特定的文化之中，思想、语言、行为等都受到该文化的影响与支配。 文化意识即指对此有清醒的认识。跨文化意识首先涉及对文化多元的认识。对文化而言，既有国别文化的不同，一国之内亦有主流文化与种种亚文化之分，同时个体间的差异也不容忽视。因此，不能理所当然地以本文化的规则来评价不同文化背景人的交际行为。 其次，不同文化间既有异（个性），也有同（共性），要辩证的看待文化。另外，应该树立文化平等观。文化没有高低优劣之分，跨文化交际目的是理解和沟通，促进各民族间的长期友谊和共同发展，在培养文化意识和跨文化意识的同时，还要认真思考汉语与英语文化在主要方面的异同之处，分析跨文化交际中可能出现的问题及其对应策略。 本课程以语言学习为前提，强调在语言学习的过程中提高利用外语进行跨文化交际的能力，通过对交际与语言，语言与文化，文化与价值观的学习和讨论，提高跨文化交际意识；通过对文化现象的思考和讨论，反思语言学习过程，增加对文化差异的敏感性； 通过课堂活动和案例学习，提高跨文化交际意识和能力，达到有效交流的目的。 4. 教学重点和难点： 本课程内容包括：交际与文化，语言与文化，文化与价值观，语言交际和非语言交际，

Case 2: White Dress Case analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they see the western bride in white gown. The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. Culture is like an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath. Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why. 白色的裙子 案例分析:印度女人可能认为婚礼是一个葬礼,如果他们看到西方新娘白色礼服。案例反映了明喻和隐喻的文本。文化就像一座冰山:我们可以识别妇女所穿的衣服的颜色在不同的文化,但是我们不知道下面的值。文化就像水中的鱼游:人们穿着不同颜色的不同的背景,但他们通常是理所当然,从不问为什么。Case 4: Coconut-skating Case analysis: The case reflects the characteristics of culture. We can tell from the case that culture is pervasive and it’s learned. People may invent different ways for things even as simple as the issue of floor moping. The Philippine woman must have learned this way of mopping from her own culture. Coconut-skating 案例分析:这一事件反映出文化的特点。我们可以告诉从文化无处不在的情况下学习。人们甚至可以创造不同的东西一样简单的问题地板闷闷不乐。菲律宾女人必须学会了这样的擦自己的文化。 Case 12: Why Don’t You Eat the Pizza? This case can reflect the problems appearing during intercultural communication and how ignoring cultural differences can affect communication. In Malaysia, where most people are Muslims, people think the left hand is used only for cleaning the body and thus it is dirty and can not be used to pass food. Knowing nothing about the cultural difference, the American student puts himself in an embarrassing situation. 你为什么不吃比萨吗? 这种情况下可以反映出跨文化交流中出现的问题,忽略文化差异如何影响沟通。在马来西亚,大多数人都是穆斯林,人们认为左手是仅用于清洗身体,因此它是脏的,不能用来传递食物。任何了解文化差异,美国学生把自己在一个尴尬的局面。 Case 21: A Danish Woman in New Y ork This case can reflect assuming similarity instead of difference. When communicating with pe ople from another culture, one is likely to regard and treat other people as “his people” and to assume there must be only one way of doing things: that is “his way”. In this case, the Danish woman assumes that her behavior of leaving the baby alone, which is common in Denmark, is also appropriate in New York. Here, she assumes what is suitable in her own culture is also indisputable in another culture. That is why the small conflict happens. 一个丹麦的女人在纽约
