多元文化主义和多元文化教育是二十世纪的重要思潮,也是当今社会现实的必然产物。大学专业英语教育可以从教学理念、课程目标、教材选材、教学策略、教学评价、教学资源和教师教育七个方面培养学生的多元文化意识,使学生更好地适应多元的社会。     

美国少数民族高层次人才培养及其政策特征

世界多民族国家都希望提高少数民族的文化素养以实现各个民族的共同发展。美国为培养少数民族高层次人才,在立法、规划、内容、管理上做出不懈努力,体现了多元文化、民族弱化、公平效率兼顾、政策主体积极互动、宽进严出加补救措施和关注教师多样化等政策特征。     

多元文化视角下英语饮食习语汉译的耦合与差异

每一种语言都有特定的"文化负载词"反映文化观念和事物,习语作为语言的精华也不例外,它不仅是文化的重要组成部分,也是文化的载体。英美民族的海洋商业文化与汉民族的大陆农耕文化表现出各自种种不同的饮食文化个性,最终不可避免地会反映到习语中来。对于英语饮食习语汉译的探讨,应从多元文化视角出发,多层面多角度分析其耦合与差异,从而推动有效的跨文化交际。

Deliberative theory and the legitimacy of Islamic influence in the British education system

Abstract

This article argues that deliberative theory provides an important contribution in the debate about the legitimacy of an Islamic influence within the British education system. The contribution is a timely one, in light of the tendency to view issues involving Islam and Muslims through the distorting prism of Islamophobia. The contribution of deliberative theory is developed and explained through a constructive comparison with two positions within debates about the legitimacy of religion and the accommodation of minority claims within education: ethical liberalism and ethical pluralism.     

Three educational values for a multicultural society: Difference recognition,national cohesion and equality

Educational aims for societies comprising multiple ethnic, cultural and racial groups should involve three different values—recognizing difference, national cohesion and equality. Recognition of difference acknowledges and respects ethnocultural identities and in educational contexts also encourages mutual engagement across difference. National cohesion involves teaching a sense of civic attachment to a nation and to one’s fellow citizens of different groups and identities. ‘Multiculturalism’ has traditionally been understood to support the first value but not as much the second, a charge made by ‘interculturalism,’ a newer idea in Europe and francophone Canada. But Tariq Modood, this year’s Kohlberg Memorial Lecturer, has argued that national integration has always been a goal of multiculturalism. However, neither multiculturalism nor interculturalism has placed sufficient emphasis on equality as a social and educational ideal. Equality is a complex idea that involves both equal treatment by teachers of students from different groups, and also relative equal student outcomes among different groups.     

The vortex of multiculturalism in South Korea: a critical discourse analysis of the characterization of “multicultural children” in three newspapers

This study investigates how multicultural children have been portrayed by the Korean media, where the term is typically used to mean a child of an underprivileged Korean man and a female marriage migrant from a less industrialized neighboring country. Adopting the theoretical lens of critical discourse analysis, I examine news articles published from 2009 to 2013 in the Hankyoreh, the Hankook Ilbo, and the Chosun Ilbo: three daily newspapers representing a full range of progressive, moderate, and conservative political perspectives within society. Analysis reveals that multicultural children have been characterized as a marginalized group, as a threat to the future Korean society, or as global human resources. Given that these discourses are manifestations of underlying ideology, I also explore how these three discourses are conjoined with three competing ideologies in Korea; namely, democracy, nationalism, and neoliberalism. This study concludes by discussing how multiculturalism serves as a discursive framework through which democratic, nationalist, and neoliberal ideas gain their effectiveness.     

全球化时代背景下多元文化教育的内涵与中国特色

在很多西方国家,多元文化主义公共政策领域的重要话语,对教育领域的影响尤其深远,但这种理念也始终面临各种价值争议与实践困惑。所以,在借鉴西方经验的过程中,中国学者必须始终坚持批判与自省的立场,深入探讨多元文化教育的中国意义与中国问题。本文认为,多元文化主义的理论精髓在于强调文化的多样性、动态性与协商性,这一观点提示人们在追求公平与正义的道路上重新审视主流文化与非主流文化之间的关系。这种文化反思不仅为我国少数民族教育带来新的启示,也为中国社会现代化变革所带来的诸多问题开辟了更广阔、更深刻的理解角度。同时,多元文化主义还促使人们深入思考我国教育在西方文化帝国主义面前的立场与价值担当。     

Changing What Is Taught: Hearing the Voices of the Underrepresented

A major challenge facing institutions today is determining the role of multiculturalism in the curriculum. Institutions that decide to incorporate multicultural perspectives into the general education curriculum will face a long and complex process. In 1991, policy makers at Florida State University made the decision to require all students to take multicultural courses to fulfill general education requirements. This article provides insight into the challenges that institutional policy makers face as they seek to change the curriculum to include the voices of those previously underrepresented.     

文化心理学的兴起与中国文化心理学发展探析

文化心理学的兴起既有历史的也有现实的原因,主流心理学的衰落与心理学的文化转向,给文化心理学的兴起提供了新的契机,同时也给了中国心理学家重新审视中国心理学发展的机会。中国心理学在心理学多元化的背景下,应采用中西合璧式的,西方与东方相结合,自然科学与人文科学相结合等研究方法,建立一门根植于传统文化下的中国文化心理学或中国本土心理学。
