中高级水平留学生汉语文化词习得研究

二语词汇习得中包括文化词习得。文章以问卷调查为主,并结合访谈对中高级汉语水平留学生文化词习得状况进行了实证研究,发现：第一,习得的总体状况欠佳;第二,习得最好的文化词多是与其生活密切相关的,要么课本中专门学习过,要么是在其来源国有广泛传播,习得最差的是历史词语和一些带有比喻义、引申义、象征义的词语：第三．来自儒家文化圈的留学生与来自非儒家文化圈的留学生在文化词习得上差异十分显著。据此,文章建议要加强中高级汉语教学中文化词和中国文化的教学,并要区分不同文化词的习得难度,对不同文化圈留学生提出不同的习得目标要求等。     

book review

International students make up an increasingly large proportion of the UK's student population. Whether studying at undergraduate, postgraduate taught or postgraduate research level, they require support just like home students. However, international students can often bring additional issues and complications for the staff who are supporting them. This paper examines the additional complications involved in supporting international students, with a specific focus on cultural issues, and will make recommendations as to how practice can be improved. Key recommendations include the introduction of greater support for staff who teach and support international students and the expansion of orientation programmes for international students to include topics such as current educational culture in the UK.

留学生文化课教材编写模式研究

近年来,留学生对高质量文化课教材的需求日益迫切,而从实际情况看,尽管留学生文化教材的数量、种类都不断增加,质量也在不断提高,但是在语言、内涵、内容选择、与读者的互动、定位等方面仍存在着一些亟待改进之处。本文认为文化课教材的编写应遵循以下原则:在内容组织上,应以跨文化背景下中国人的价值观和思维方式为主要脉络,以专题为单位,体现传统与现代、表层文化与深层文化的有机结合,建构一种系统的文化体系;在目的上,应注意文化课教材与文化读本(文化辅助教材)以及专业课教材的差异;在适用对象上,应依据学生的语言水平,结合学生的兴趣、所在地域和所在学校的专业特点等,因地制宜、有的放矢地进行教材编写;在精神内涵上,应体现与其他文化模式的差异和共性。本文还就编写模式提供了具体建议。     

Counseling International Students in Canadian Schools

International students face many demands as they navigate the cross-cultural transition of living and learning in host countries such as Canada. The cultural diversity represented in this student population poses unique challenges for multicultural counseling. The ways that international students have been represented in the literature may contribute to barriers for effective counseling services. The discussion begins with a summary of the issues faced by international students when living and learning in a foreign country. Several limitations in the counseling literature about international students are addressed, including, the limitations of culture shock as a model of cross cultural transition, the lack of methodological diversity in research involving international students, a focus on group characteristics, and the continued emphasis on the problems experienced by international students. Suggestions for counselors are given to enhance their multicultural counseling competencies for working with international students.     

Racism,Equity, and Quality of Education for International Students in South Korean Higher Education Institutes

This study aims to understand equity issues of international students’ learning in Korean higher education institutions by engaging with the issue of racism and identifies how international students in Korea reshape their learning trajectory and how we could provide equitable and quality education for international students. Espousing a qualitative case study design, six students from different background were interviewed to examine features of perceived institutional racism based on their learning experience in Korea. Major findings showed that internationalization has not been fulfilled in terms of engaging with international students although Korean government and higher education institutions have developed relevant policy to attract international students. This study indicates that Korean universities need to reconstruct their social, cultural, and institutional systems to embrace equity, diversity and inclusiveness to empower international students’ capacity.     

The international status of English for intercultural understanding in Taiwan's high school EFL textbooks

The purpose of this study is to evaluate linguistic and cultural issues around the status of English as a lingua franca and intercultural understanding as presented in one set of Taiwan's (English as a Foreign Language (EFL) high school textbooks. The methodology centres on the analysis of textbook content as categorized in three central themes: (1) the status of English language in international communicative settings; (2) intercultural/interpersonal understanding and diversity in English language texts; and (3) the linguistic and cultural effects of globalization on Taiwan and the world. Results found that the textbooks generally legitimate the hegemony of American English and British English as the only acceptable varieties or standard forms of the language. Furthermore, most of the texts are limited to specific aspects of societal issues and regions that represent influential cultures and their commercial commodities. The United States receives the most attention, followed by the United Kingdom and certain dominant Western European nations, where the image of ethnic and cultural homogeneity prevails in the texts. Most content focuses on reporting achievements, cultural practices, and perspectives of dominant groups in the United States, Great Britain, and Europe with little or no critical analysis of content.     

The continua of identities in postcolonial curricula: Kenyan students’ perceptions of gender in school textbooks

The roles of textbooks in postcolonial states is increasingly complicated, even more so when engaging a gendered analysis. This is in large part due the pressure national education ministries face considering the demands of the international aid community, particularly since implementation of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals, nation-building, and cultural diversity. Using Kenya as a site of analysis, this article uses interviews conducted with Kenyan primary school students to determine how their perceptions of their textbooks relates to their lived realities. Focusing on images depicting labor in and out of the home, research shows that students’ perceptions of textbooks demonstrate that there exists a continuum of gender identities, particularly visible when images of transformative gendered roles for women that are incongruent with student realities.

Group Counseling with International Students: Practical,Ethical, and Cultural Considerations

International students in higher education represent a diverse population with unique mental health needs. Foreign students commonly experience a host of adjustment issues, including acculturative stress, language difficulties, cultural misunderstandings, racial discrimination, and loss of social support. Despite their challenges, few international students seek individual counseling. The purpose of this article is to present counseling groups as a treatment modality for addressing international students' adjustment concerns. Special attention is directed to the practical, ethical, and cultural challenges of conducting group counseling with this population, in addition to presenting recommendations for future practice and research.     

日本小学社会科教科书中的“传统与文化”

日本已将成为一个"文化创造型国家"确立为国家发展的方向。"传统与文化"教育被寄予了创建国际社会、日本社会、区域社会以及学校社会的重任。2008年修订的课程标准新增了有关传统与文化的课程内容。小学社会科教科书中"传统与文化"相关内容通过展现学生自主探究、学习传统与文化的过程来培养学生的民族认同感,这种内容组织方式是值得肯定的。但是,"传统与文化"内容仅限于三年级有关区域社会的变迁和发展单元与六年级的历史单元中,而且缺乏从传统文化在今天和未来的价值、传统文化对国际社会的影响这两个视角来组织,这将是日本"传统与文化"教育亟待解决的课题。     

Welcome to America? International student perceptions of discrimination

This research explores the experiences of international students at a research university in the U.S. Southwest. Based on interviews of a sample of 24 students from 15 countries, we consider a range of difficulties they encounter which runs from perceptions of unfairness and inhospitality to cultural intolerance and confrontation. Utilizing the conceptual framework of neo-racism to explain many of their experiences, we organize our analysis and discussion around their words and the contexts in which the difficulties they encounter emerge. We find that not all of the issues international students face can be problematized as matters of adjustment, as much research does, but that some of the more serious challenges are due to inadequacies within the host society.     

Homophobia and university law enforcement students

There is little research on homophobia among university-level law enforcement students, nor strategies for teaching gay issues. This paper analyzes gay issues as provided in textbooks for law enforcement students, and homophobia among law enforcement students. A content analysis of textbooks reveals little treatment of gay issues or working with the gay community and the lack of attention is disparate with that granted other minorities. Measures of homophobia comparing law enforcement students with other students indicate that law enforcement students hold higher levels of homophobia.     

文旅融合背景下的旅游类英语课程中国文化渗透现状探微

母语文化渗透教学对扭转中国文化“失语”、提升国际传播力、增强本土文化自信都具有重要战略意义。高校学生普遍存在中国传统文化缺失、跨文化交际水平低下的问题,其原因主要有学生的跨文化交际意识薄弱、教材体系片面、识记困难、课时较少等,可采取整合教材、课程群分工、适当拉开梯度、开展文化对比教学与线上线下混合式教学、考核文化元素等对策予以解决。

藏汉双语教学实施成效调查——以西藏拉萨地区的双语教学为例

西藏自治区推行的以汉为主加授藏语文的双语教学模式是我国藏区最有效的双语教学模式之一。通过对藏汉双语教学政策的调查发现拉萨市大多数教师了解藏汉双语教学政策、认同双语教学政策,能很好地贯彻执行这些政策;拉萨市藏汉双语教学模式较为复杂,主要包括三种模式;在教材方面,初中阶段学生除藏族班加授的藏语文课程使用藏文教材以外,其余课程全部使用人民教育出版社统编汉文教材;藏汉双语师资以藏族教师为主,藏族教师占92.5%;文化背景、学习动机、习得环境等三个因素是影响藏族学生藏汉双语学习的主要因素。     

Counselor Educators’ Perceptions of and Experiences with International Students

Thirty-six counselor educators’ perceptions and experiences with international student trainees were examined in this online survey research. Findings support the issues identified in the literature as confronting international students and also surface some issues specific to students in counselor training. International counselor education students tend to experience more difficulties in areas related to language, clinical training, adjustment, and cultural differences. Similarities and differences were also found within international student categories involving western and non-western countries and between international and domestic students. Counselor educators in general reported favorably on working with international students. Findings support attention being given to further examine the specific training and supervisory needs of international counseling students.Portions of this article were presented at the 2003 Southern Association of Counselor Education and Supervision Conference, Chattanooga, U.S.A. and at the 2004 American Counseling Association Convention, Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A.

2003年人教版初中语文教材性别角色分析——基于1998年人教版初中语文教材研究结论的比较研究

语文教材从图片到内容涉及的性别问题,对于学生建立一定的性别观和形成客观认识女性的态度会产生极大的影响。到目前为止,虽然教材在性别问题方面已有重大改观,但仍需在如下几个方面努力:第一,丰富教科书中女性的角色;第二,完善教科书中的女性形象;第三,在图片的处理上应该增加女性角色的数量,直观地、全方位地展现女性的外在美和内在美。
