数字阅读与纸质阅读理解效果及沉浸体验实验研究——以科普知识为例

[目的/意义]通过模拟现实中纸质阅读与数字阅读的阅读情况和阅读环境来观察和测试用户在数字阅读与纸质阅读过程中阅读效果的差异,以期为图书馆阅读服务、阅读资源建设提供参考。[方法/过程]以中等篇幅的科普知识文章为例,采用对照组实验方法从阅读理解和沉浸体验角度比较纸质阅读与数字阅读之间的差异。[结果/结论]用户在阅读中篇科普文章时纸质阅读的理解效果要比数字阅读好,但在阅读沉浸体验方面两者不存在显著差异,用户的阅读沉浸体验与学历和性格有关,图书馆的阅读服务和资源建设应在读者个性化分析和服务的基础上推进。     

Improving the Comparability and Local Usefulness of International Assessments: A Look Back and A Way Forward

Over time international large-scale assessments have grown in terms of number of studies, cycles, and participating countries, many of which are a heterogeneous mix of economies, languages, cultures, and geography. This heterogeneity has meaningful consequences for comparably measuring both achievement and non-achievement constructs, such as social and emotional skills. In this paper we propose one way to directly incorporate country-specific differences into the methods used to construct background scales. We use research that demonstrates data quality issues in international assessment and the degree to which these issues can impact inferences. Our proposed solution incorporates innovations that have been developed for achievement measures but have not been applied to background scales. We demonstrate this possible solution with PISA 2012 data.     

A Cross-Cultural and Historical Analysis of Chinese Chui Wan in Comparison to Early Scottish Golf

Abstract

This article explores Chinese chui wan from its earliest manifestation during the Tang Dynasty, through its development, prosperity, and decline during the Qing Dynasty. The similarities and differences between chui wan and early forms of golf in Scotland are compared from a cross-cultural perspective to explore the relationship between these two cultural phenomena. While the two games had very different origins and there is no clear evidence of exposure to chui wan in Scotland, the games themselves were remarkably similar in terms of rules, equipment, venues, and player roles. It is not understood why chui wan disappeared from Chinese society, but it is likely that the development and organizational support of the two games, as well as the cultural and political contexts in which they existed, have resulted in different trajectories for Chinese chui wan and golf. Whilst chui wan has faded away, golf has become a popular game around the world.     

英汉翻译中的文化因素

语言是交际的工具和思维的载体,也是文化的载体。不同的语言所反映的是不同民族的心理思维、历史文化、宗教信仰以及社会文化习俗。翻译是一种典型的跨文化行为,文化间的差异使译者在翻译的过程中常常受到文化因素的影响。在英汉翻译过程中,要注重对文化因素的分析以及翻译策略的运用。     

冰山理论对跨文化交际能力培养的启示

随着全球化趋势的增强,各国在政治、经济、文化等各方面开展了交流。因此,跨文化交际能力培养成为了当前英语教学中的一个重要课题。运用冰山理论,从影响交际能力的三大潜在因素即移情能力、价值观念和语言运用能力出发,探讨跨文化交际能力的培养。并且认识到跨文化交际的过程其实是在对各国文化的不断深化认识基础上,达到有意义的交际目的。     

跨文化交际中的言语合作原则和礼貌原则

本论文以中美两国为倒,指出由于在以下四个方面存在很大的不同：意识形态,面子体秉,话语形式和传统文化,因此人们在跨文化言语交际中所遵循的合作原则和礼貌原则的佣重点不同,这也就导致误解与不快,因此,在跨文化交际中,不仅要学习其他国家的文化特征,而且更应尊重其他国家的文化,这样跨文化交际才能持续和顺利地发展。     

如何在大学专业英语教学中培养学生的跨文化交际能力探析

进入21世纪,国际交往日益频繁,开放后的中国在各个领域都与国际接轨。在国际化的趋势下,各行业需要大量既懂专业知识又熟练掌握英语的复合型人才。把英语作为一门语言知识来传授的教学模式和仅以训练听、说、读、写、译的熟练技能为目标的大学专业英语教学已经不能满足当前社会对英语专业人才的要求,大学专业英语教学改革是社会发展的需要。本文主要谈谈如何在大学专业英语教学中培养学生的跨文化交际能力,具有一定的参考意义和实践价值。

Career counseling centers in higher education: A study of cross-cultural applications from the United States to Korea

Interest in career development and career counseling is growing in Korea. Nevertheless, neither the research nor the literature adequately address the question as to what applications can be cross-culturally transferred from career counseling centers in the United States to Korea. This study qualitatively examines the practice of career counseling in seven university career counseling centers in the United States in a search for concepts and methods that may be cross-culturally applied to Korean universities. Nine categories of data emerged in our qualitative analysis of information gathered: (a) types of systems; (b) staff; (c) services provided; (d) career assessments; (e) alumni networks; (f) workshops and outreach; (g) publicity; (h) information technology; and (i) facilities. Applications and ideas for the Korean context, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
