教师自我表露教学效果的跨文化比较

以180名美国和509名中国师范生为研究对象,采用自编《教师自我表露教学效果问卷》调查和比较中美师范生对教师自我表露教学效果的理解。结果表明,中美师范生认为教师自我表露有助于师生关系的建立和师生之间的交流,对学生的学习具有积极的作用,并有助于促进学生的课堂参与。在"师生关系与师生交流","学生的学习效果"和"课堂参与"三个维度上,美国师范生的得分均显著高于中国师范生。建议在我国教师教育和培训中,注意引导师范生的自我表露意识,建议教师使用积极的自我表露,尽量避免消极的自我表露,采用与教学内容相关的自我表露,并控制自我表露的时间和内容,意识自我表露的数量,真正发挥自我表露作为教学工具的作用。     

Watershed Education for Sustainable Development

Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN) is an international network that seeks to bring students, teachers, and communities in the world closer together through the bond of studying and improving our river systems. The network is an expanding global communication system that invites participants to analyze watershed usage, monitor the quality and quantity of river water, reflect on ways that land and water usage and cultural perceptions influence river systems, and present their findings and recommendations to appropriate governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The pedagogical model that GREEN has been working under is Action Research and Community Problem Solving (ARCPS). It is a process that enables students and teachers to participate more fully in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of educational activities aimed at resolving an issue that the learners have identified. Some of the cornerstones of the instructional approaches are watershed analysis, experiential learning, interdisciplinary orientation, integrated problem solving, action-taking, and the support of networks. GREEN encourages classrooms to consider a cross-cultural component to their watershed education program in an effort to further global citizenship by linking students, teachers, and community members from different regions of the world.     

英汉文化差异与言语行为交际

语言和化是密不可分的，掌握一门语言实际上就是掌握该语言所承载的化，跨语言交际实际上就是一种跨化交际。掌握和了解了中西化差异，才可以顺利而有效地进行相互之间的语言交流。     

高职高专英语教学中应注重跨文化交际能力的培养

高职高专教育培养的是高级应用型人才,主要从事技术、生产、管理、服务等领域的工作,其中很多都是涉外行业。对外交流中,一个不可避免的障碍就是文化。不同的文化之间,由于地理环境、社会经济发展的不同而存在巨大的差异。如何在对外交流中克服这一障碍,从而使彼此的沟通更加顺畅、高效,就成了外语教学中一个重要的课题——跨文化意识的培养。本文主要就高职高专英语教学中培养学生跨文化交际能力的必要性及途径作了初步的探讨。     

国际化视角下大学生跨文化领导力培养方式探讨

伴随全球一体化的深入发展,气候、能源、环境等全球性问题相继出现,国际关系博弈持续,国际社会间合作与竞争并存。国际化人才培养工作上升为国家战略,是我国应对全球化挑战的最重要措施。要培养大学生的跨文化领导力,应从意识态度、知识素养和行为能力三个维度着手,具体可通过拓展学生赴海外交流经历,开展与专业相结合的领导力教育,开设国际理解教育和校园国际化建设等方面提升学生的跨文化领导力。     

中国传统文化在商务英语专业教学中的缺失与对策

商务英语教学偏重英语语言文化与商务知识的教学,而忽略了教学过程中中国文化知识的渗透,直接导致商务英语专业学生不能用英语准确表达中国文化,造成了商务沟通中的卡壳现象。这种现象既影响学生毕业后在对外商务交流中的有效沟通,又不利于对外弘扬中华民族的优秀文化。从过分强调英语和商务知识的重要性,中国传统文化(英语)师资匮乏等五个方面,分析了造成学生中国传统文化知识匮乏的原因,并提出了应对策略。     

A cross-cultural perspective on televised political advertising during the presidential election between the US and South Korea: 1992–2012

Our study was motivated by the fact that, despite the increasing pervasiveness of political advertising in the political process of many democracies, little empirical research has been conducted to unveil common patterns or crucial differences of political spots across cultural boundaries. Our study thus provided one opportunity to gain better understanding and insights into how media phenomena are related to cultural orientation by comparing and contrasting the content of political spots across the United States and South Korea. In particular, this study analyzed verbal components of political spots in both US and Korean presidential elections over the past 20 years. To the extent that clear differences exist between American and Korean cultural patterns, political spots, which are a conspicuous indicator of cultural values, appear to manifest these differences quite strongly. The findings of this study provide evidence that political advertising primarily reflects the uniqueness of indigenous cultures.     

美国当前的双语教育改革

美国的传统双语教育制度形成于20世纪印年代末，30多年来没有什么重大变化。但是近年来，公众对传统的过渡式双语教育越来越不满，于是由民间发起了一场用英语浸入式取代传统双语教育的改革运动。加利福尼亚州于1998年通过了改革法案，几年来学生的英语和学科成绩都有显著提高。到目前为止，亚利桑那州和马萨诸塞州也已通过了类似加州的双语教育改革法案。     

跨文化交流中的理解、接受与聆听

跨文化的交流并不能直接便利地产生对双方及时世界的理解，交流不仅需要双方在对话中更深刻地认识自己，更需要在生存经验的相互交流中获得通向他者的超越。在跨文化交流中寻求双方的最佳理解已渐渐成为各领域不可或缺的基础，我们最终将在双方对话的“互动认识”中理解他者与自己，从而发现“唯一的人类的意义”。     

从思维方式看英文写作教学
