What are its features? The fundamental differences between Chinese and Western cultures are that Chineseculture promotes the group and stability while Western culture promotes the individual andchange. Chinese culture reflects the unique demography of China. The Chinese are said tohave common descent from the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. While this beliefis legendary, nearly all Chinese are linked by clan, a kind of blood relation. A clan may comprise, or nearly comprise, a whole village or suburb, and counties, provinces and state are conglomerates of a vast number of villages and suburbs with such clan populations.Within each clan population or grouping, in whichever village or place, there are smallersubdivisions or groupings of extended family which subdivide further into linear and nuclear families. Chinese society thus consists of an aggregate of clan and family groupings, rather thandivided into hereditary classes or castes. Put it in another way, Chinese society appears as amass of circles or groupings rather than status or levels. Within each circle or grouping thepeople are related in clan or closer kinship and off er cooperation and succor to each other.Moreover, the smaller groupings can draw on the greater resources of the larger, if of thesame clan. The groupings have also been likened to grains of sand which are marvelously adapted against adversity. Whatever the misfortune, a tray of sand will absorb a shock with the certainty that some grains will survive. 查看全部↓ 前言/序言 本教材依据《大学英语教学指南》(2020版)和教育部大学英语教学改革精神,以建构主义理论、教育生态学理论和目标-动机理论为基础,从趣味性、知识性和实用性入手,在介绍西方文化的同时,比较中西文化,从根源上分析文化差异产生的原因。在构建跨文化交际知识、培养跨文化交际能力的同时,建立文化自信,提高文化输出能力,讲好中国故事,展现中国形象,培养促进中西文化交流、传播中国声音的现代大学生。 编写依据 1.建构主义教学理论认为,新知识的学习是一个对原有知识的解构和重建过程。教材通过文化根源阐析和案例分析,通过对英、美、中三国不同文化内容的对比,使学生在原有模糊、零碎的感性认知基础上生成新的、系统的跨文化知识,以培养跨文化意识和跨文化交际能力。 2.教育生态学理论认为,学习受制于教学生态因子之间的关系。英语学习在我国是一种外语学习,缺乏应有的生态环境,这也是导致英语学习投入大、收效小的主要原因。基于教育生态学理论,教材通过影视资源和现实生活案例导入,营造学习生态环境,提高学习兴趣。 3.目标-动机理论认为,目标是产生动机的原因。动机是学习主动性、学习成败的一个关键因素。根据这一理论,教材中编入具有文化差异性的辩论和讨论题,激发学生表达不同观点的欲望,让学生在实际使用中学习语言,提高学习主动性和学习效果。 编写原则 本教材在2012年高等教育出版社《大学英语跨文化交际课程》的基础上编写。编写遵循以下三个基本原则:1.在内容上,以英、美、中三国文化差异为主线。增加中国文化内容,以文化对比的形式,使学生了解不同文化现象,提高其跨文化交际意识。从人类学角度阐析文化差异,注重对中西方深层文化差异的理解。2.在编排上,从现象入手,引出对文化差异的深层思考,避免纯跨文化交际理论的枯燥性。一些较为抽象的理论知识,体现在每单元之后的文化信息(Cultural Information)中,或以微课形式,让有兴趣的同学自主学习。3.在教学模式上,不再将语言知识作为重点,而是以文本理解为中心,将语言学习和跨文化交际能力学习融为一体。 社会心理学家米尔顿·罗克奇认为,价值观是所有社会科学的核心概念,是所有行为变量的联合体,指导人们的行为和存在(Rokeach,1979)。同时,价值观具有稳定性,是不同文化的历史积淀产物。教材结合中西方历史,阐释不同价值观形成的根源,分析因价值观差异体现在家庭、交友、娱乐、饮食、教育、工作、交流和社会等方面的不同观念和现象,涵盖了价值观的各个层面。 在跨文化交际理论上,教材涉及霍夫斯塔德的集体主义和个人主义文化维度、拉克洪价值取向理论中的时间取向与空间取向和霍尔的高语境文化与低语境文化等跨文化交际理论,内容比较全面。 查看全部↓
