Intercultural Differences of Family and Education ValuesA friend told me a phenomenon that Americans like to find ways to play, for example, driving their own car, starting from Los Angeles, braving the scorching sun of California, driving four to five hundred kilometers to spend weekends, and Chinese in the United States are still busy working. They spend weekendshaving dinner or watching TVwith their family. Why is there a huge gap between Chinese and Americans in the pursuit of enjoyment of life?This is mainly due to the traditional cultural practices of the two countries.So what is culture? A definition from D.Brown is that“A culture is a collection of beliefs, habits, living patterns, and behaviors which are held more or less in common by people who occupy particular geographic areas.” As a result, there are many huge differences between those two counties.Someone said:”Chinese are living for others, and Americans are living for themselves.”Chinese peoplework hard for their status and reputation, then desperately to make money. However, earning money is not in order to enjoy life, but for future generations: son, daughter, or even grandchildren.Such as the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang, He wanted his sons to rule on from generation to generation. So he named his son Emperor Junior. The Chinese people love to accumulate up to prepare for the next generation to do something in the future or pension. Although lots of Chinese people having got IDs in the United Statesno longer need to worry about their social welfare and health insurance, but they are still too tired, they have been hoping that their bank deposits in each of the new growth, this year there are tens of thousands, next year I hope to earn hundreds of thousands, then hope for millions of the year after.In sharp contrast to their stingy, Chinese spend very generous in their children. Because they thinkthey have experienced too much suffering, so their children are supposed to live better. The children have much pocket money and enjoy the best resources. And they also pay more attention to their sons, because the traditional Chinese think their sons will feed them when they are old due to the imperfect national welfare system.Americans believe in living for themselves. Therefore, the power of Americans to make money is to enjoy life, the pursuit of a higher quality of life. The parents have their own pensions and social welfare, and children over 18 years of age begin to live independently. There is no difference between the poor and the rich in eating or shopping, and the most expensive spending areundoubtedly the acquisition of residential and tourism. Instead of giving their children money, American parents teach them to learn financial management, or to make money by themselves. American families’focus is on fostering the childrento have the ability to adapt to the environment. Based on this concept, they attach to the children's exercise. They generally believe that the children's growth must rely on their own strength. So parents prefer training exercisetheir self-awareness and ability to live independently. The so-called exercise reflects in many respects,the exercise of labor and will. But the most fundamental is to adapt to the exercise of a variety of difficult environments and the ability to work. Through physical training, the kids develop the habits of independent consciousness. And their will also develop their own capacity strengths, wisdom, patience, independent viability and social responsibility.There are also some differences in family value. We Chinese all know that there are some important festivals through a year, such as Mid-autumn Festival and Spring Festival. When the festival comes, we need to come back home to have a sumptuous dinner with all the family members. This movement shows that Chinese are collectivism which is completely different with Americans. This point of view is much broader than Westerners’ which definition is limited to parents and children, and the following definitions are talking about the "family" may be used. First, the core of three generations of Chinese-style familyincludes three generations: grandparents, parents and children. This is the most commonly basic family unit.And the traditional Chinese family also includes generations of ancestors, although they have long been buried. Many people who have the same surname are recorded in the genealogies and often have their own family rules and family motto, and descendants for generations have to comply with. Some Chinese people have a strong sense of pride and proud of their long family history, and even some family can be traced back thousands of years ago.The special feelings of the family and respect for ancestorsof Chinese people make them feel cordial for those who are from the same city or region.Chinese people's "family" also extends to the concept of "nation", and "nation" of the Chinese character includes Chinese character "home". The Chinese people they belong to the "country" as the "home". As a result Chinese people have strong concept of nation, so old man would like to go back to hometown no matter where he is.However, the traditional American family is a "nuclear family." A nuclear family refers to a couple and their children. The average American family today has two or three childrenand maybe a few pets. In some cultures, people live close to their extended family. Several generations may even live together. But in America, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof.Many homes are run like a democracy. Each family member can have a say. A sense of equality often exists in American homes. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad, children may think of them as good friends. From an early age, children gain responsibility in handling money. They may receive a weekly allowance or even work part-time jobs. Often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions. Preschoolers choose what clothes to wear or which toys to buy. Young adults generally make their own choices about what career to pursue and whom to marry.After children being adult, they will leave their parents and even won’t come back for many years.Although we can find many differences between Chinese and American, we do not need to be afraid of communicating with them. If we can realize the differences and we can avoid being embarrassing and misunderstanding. That is why we learn Intercultural Communication.。

Get prepared for intercultural communication?Communication——your ability to share your beliefs, values, ideas, and feelings ——is the basis of all human contact. Whether you live in a city in Canada, a village in India, a commune in Israel, you cannot avoid communication with each other. But how about communication between different cultures? Are you well prepared for that? Before you do that, there are a few points you’d better keep in mind as stated below.What is intercultural communicationIntercultural communication in its most basic form refers to an academic field of study and research. Its seeks to understand how people from different countries and cultures behave, communicate and perceive the world around them. The findings of such academic research are then applied to 'real life' situations such as how to create cultural synergy between people from different cultures within a business or how psychologists understand their patients. The definition of intercultural communication must also include strands of the field that contribute to it such as anthropology, cultural studies, psychology and communication.Intercultural communication is not new. As long as people from different cultures have been encountering one another there has been intercultural communication. What is new, however, is the systematic study of exactly what happens when cross-culture contacts and interaction take place—when message producer and message receiver are from different cultures. Increased contact among cultures makes it imperative for people to make a concerted effort to get along with and understand those whose believes and backgrounds may be vastly different from their own. Successful intercultural communication is a matter of highest importance if humankind and society are to survive. Thus, theoretical and practical knowledge about intercultural communication process and ability, through increased awareness and understanding, to coexist peacefully with people who do not necessarily share our own life styles or values, is essential to guarantee successful communication.Language is a way of marking cultural identity. Language differs, on the other hand, from other phenomena in that it is used to refer to other phenomena and hasusually to be used to refer beyond itself. Language in use by particular speakers is constantly referring beyond itself irrespective at the intentions of the speaker: language cannot be used without carrying meaning and referring beyond itself, even in the most sterile environment of the foreign language class. The meanings of a particular language point to the culture of a particular social group, and the analysis of those meanings—their comprehension by learners and other speakers—involves the analysis and comprehension of that culture. It disregards the nature of language to treat language independently of the culture which it constantly refers to. No doubt all language teaching contains some explicit reference to the culture; the whole from which the particular language is taken. The interdependence of language learning and culture learning is so evident that we can draw the conclusion that language learning is culture learning and consequently that language teaching is culture teaching.What are elements of human communicationElements of human communication are the context of the communication, the participants, the messages being communicated, the channels through which the communication occurs, the presence or absence of “noise”, and the verbal and nonverbal responses known as feedback.As receivers attempt to decode the meaning of messages, they are likely to give some kind of verbal or nonverbal response. Paying attention to both verbal and nonverbal feedback allows us to behave in ways that increase understanding of our messages. Feedback serves useful functions for both senders and receivers: in provides senders with the opportunity to measure how they are coming across, and it provides receivers with the opportunity to exert some influence over the communication process. Verbal communication is, "the ways in which you use the words in a language to generate meaning." It is essentially any communication that uses language, whether it is oral or written. Symbols are used throughout verbal communication as sounds combined to make words-they symbolize ideas, thoughts, etc. Without symbols, communication would be meaningless.How High-context and Low- context cultures influence intercultural communicationAccording to Hall, cultures differ on a continuum that ranges from high to low context. High-context cultures prefer to use high- context messages which are implicit, indirect, conveyed primarily through the context or the social situation. Low-context cultures prefer to use low-context messages, in which the majority of the information is vested in the explicit code. There are manifestations of high-context and low-context cultures that influence intercultural communication. for example, members of low-context cultures expect messages to be detailed, clear-cut, and definite. If there are not enough data, or if the point being made is not apparent, members of these cultures will ask very blunt, even curt, questions. They feel uncomfortable with the vagueness and ambiguity often associated with limited data. On the other hand, high-context people are not apt to become impatient and irritated when low- context people insist on giving them information they don’t need. The communication differences between high-context and low-context cultures are also apparent in the manner in which each approach conflict. For example, because high-context cultures tend to be less open, they hold that conflict is damaging to most communication encounters. For them, conflict should be dealt with discreetly and subtly.What is the relationship between language and cultureAccording to Sapir (1921), “language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions and desire by means of voluntarily produced symbols.” Language is a part of culture and a part of human behavior. It is obvious that language plays a paramount role in developing, elaborating and transmitting culture and language, enabling us to store meanings and experience to facilitate communication. The function of language is so important in communication that it is even exaggerated by some scholars. The most famous one is the hypothesis of linguistic determinism concerning the relationship between language and culture, which Nida regards as misconceptions constituting serious difficulties forcross-cultural understanding.Each culture has its own peculiarities and throws special influence on the language system. For example, referring to the same common domestic animal, English chooses the word “dog”, while Chinese has its own character“狗”; Chinese has the phrase“走狗”while English has the e xpression “running dog”, but the meanings attributed to the two expressions are completely different according to Chinese culture and Western culture respectively. To Westerners, “running dog” has a positive meaning since the word “dog”, in most cases, is associated with an image of an animal pet-the favorite friend, thus they have the phrases “lucky dog”(幸运儿), “top dog”(胜利者), “old dog”(老手), “gay dog”(快乐的人), and it is usually used to describe everyday life and behavior, as in “Love me, love my dog”(爱屋及乌),“Every dog has its day”(凡人皆有得意日). But in Chinese“走狗”refers to a lackey, an obsequious person. Since Chinese associates derogatory meaning to the character“狗”depending on the cultural difference, Chinese has such expressions as “狗东西”,“狗腿子”,“狗仗人势”,“狗胆包天”,“狗嘴里吐不出象牙”,“狼心狗肺”,“痛打落水狗”,“狗急跳墙”.We can obviously see that the meaning attributed to language is cultural-specific.A great deal of cross-cultural misunderstanding occurs when the “meanings” of words in two languages are assumed to be the same, but actually reflect different cultural patterns. Some are humorous as when a Turkish visitor to the U.S. refused to eat a hot dog because it was against his beliefs to eat dog meat. Some are much more serious as when a French couple on a trip to China took their pet poodle into a restaurant and requested some dog food. The dog was cooked and returned to their table on a platter!We can summarize the relationship between culture and language as the following: language is a key component of culture. It is the primary medium for transmitting much of culture. Without language, culture would not be possible. Children learning their native language are learning their own culture; learning a second language also involves learning a second culture to varying degrees. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture. It reflects culture. Cultural differences are the most serious areas causing misunderstanding, unpleasantness andeven conflict in cross-cultural communication.What are cultural stereotypes and prejudicesStereotypes consist basically in shared beliefs or thoughts about a particular human group. A stereotype is an ensemble of characteristics that sums up a human group usually in terms of behaviour, habits, etc.The objective of stereotypes is to simplify reality: "they are like that". Bosses are tyrannical; these people are lazy, those are punctual; the people in that part of town are dangerous - one or some of them may have been, but all? Sometimes we use stereotypes about the group to which we feel we belong in order to feel stronger or superior to others. (Or, indeed, to excuse faults in ourselves - "What can I do about it? We are all like that!"). Stereotypes are usually based on some kind of contact or images that we have acquired in school, through mass media or at home, which then become generalised to take in all the people who could possibly be linked.A prejudice is a judgement we make about another person or other people without really knowing them. Prejudices can be negative or positive in character. Prejudices are learned as part of our socialisation process and they are very difficult to modify or eradicate. Therefore it is important that we are aware that we have them.To explain this concept more directly it could help to examine how deeply we know all of our friends. We may have different friends for different occasions, for going to the cinema, going walking, helping with homework, playing football, going to concerts. Do we know what music our football friends enjoy? Or do we just guess? Making assumptions is easy and common. If it is that simple to make assumptions about friends, think how easy it is to make false judgments about people you don't know.How to adapt to a new cultureThere are a few stages for you to experience if you want to experience a new culture. And later I’ll give some practical suggestions for you to better settle in a new culture.HoneymoonVisitors in the honeymoon stage view the new culture as something exciting and fresh. Differences in culture and appearance seem fascinating, while similarities stand out as common bonds. The energy associated with this stage often leads visitors to explore their surroundings and treat their new environment as a source of joy. The honeymoon can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Vacationers and similar casual visitors rarely move past this stage, since the length of their stay is limited and they focus their activities in service-oriented areas such as hotels and tourist sites.RejectionAs the first stage fades, the visitor confronts feelings of frustration and resentment. Cultural and language differences create complications in mundane tasks. Feelings of inadequacy predominate, and the reality of the visitor's new life starts to hit home. Disappointments tend to build upon each other, while members of the surrounding culture may treat the visitor like a child or a fool. The visitor becomes extremely sensitive and may develop significant fears about the surrounding culture. IsolationThe disillusionment created by the second stage causes the visitor to retreat into a shell. He becomes extremely critical of the surrounding culture and thinks of his home culture in idealized terms. Homesickness can become pronounced and emotional anxiety increases dramatically. The visitor may experience crying jags, changes in sleep patterns and continued irritation over comparatively minor issues. The exact length of this stage varies from case to case, but often lasts from one to two months, according to Bellini.Assimilation and AcceptanceIn order to function, the visitor begins adapting to his new circumstances. Slowly, the new culture begins to make more sense. He finds fellow countrymen who have adapted to their new culture, or makes new friends in the surrounding culture who help him feel more at home. He integrates more readily into his surroundings: basic tasks become easier and the local language and customs present fewer problems thanthey did before. Eventually, he's able to function in both his new and old circumstances with ease, balancing his cherished past with the promise of his future. Here are some suggestions for you:Maximize exposure to the host culture before departure. Read about everyday life in the destination. Visit appropriate hometown ethnic restaurants and grocery stores to gain exposure to the new culture's food and develop familiarity with the flavors. In addition to gaining as much linguistic proficiency as possible, develop familiarity with popular music and entertainment in the host country. Watch films and stream radio broadcasts or music videos for exposure.Upon arrival, develop a daily routine as quickly as possible. Establish a sleep schedule, eat healthfully and exercise at regular times. Make a point to establish familiarity by finding favorite local coffee shops and parks to avoid culture shock that can arise due to feelings of complete loss of control over life. Some choices may be limited due to language barriers or having to adjust to being the guest of a host family. But maximize available choices through reading materials and ways to spend free time.Maintain relationships with family and friends at home through video chat, letters and email. Create a website or share photographs electronically to engage longtime friends in your experience. Building new friendships in the host culture can also be critical to happiness. Be friendly and invite schoolmates, workmates or neighbors to go walking or out for coffee.Strive to maintain a flexible, positive attitude. Living in a foreign country is an invaluable opportunity full of excitement and challenges. Though it may seem extremely difficult, remember to be a student of the host country's way of life. Laugh at your social or linguistic mistakes. Experience new foods and traditions with an open mind. Flexibility is a critical component of successful adjustment.When you get all theses questions settled, you will be on your smooth way to experiencing a rather new culture and being a qualified cross-cultural communicator.。

跨文化交际作业一.Race和ethnicaccording to the dictionary:race:each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristicsethnic:Individuals who consider themselves, or are considered by others, to share common characteristics that differentiate them from the other collectivities in a society, and from which they develop their distinctive cultural behavior, form an ethnic group.简言之,Race应该翻译成种族,它是以“外表”来区别,正如我们常说的黄种人,白种人,黑种人。

种族歧视主义的英文就为Racist而Ethnicity应该定义成族群,它是以后天的”文化认同“来区别,由于共同的信仰,语言,文化习俗和历史背景而产生的归属感,是一种主观的自我认定而形成的。

所以少数民族是minority ethnic group,种族歧视我们说是racial discrimination二.Cross-cultural / inter-culture/ intra-cultural communication1.intercultural,不同文化间的。

(文化间,跨文化)强调的是对等和相互,而这往往暗示各文化间的价值平等和共性,比如intercultural communication/ understanding / appreciation / exchange;intercultural communication文化交际,强调不同,突出对比2.Cross-cultural,(跨文化)似乎更多的承认不同文化的异质,继而需要以某种特别的方式、技巧和能力来打破这种隔阂,达成目的,比如the cross-cultural techniques that enable cross-cultural evangelism / cross-cultural interaction 等等。

跨文化交际作业《跨文化交际学》选修课试卷2011-2012学年第二学期题目:中西方非言语交际的差异姓名:*********学号:********院系:******专业:应用心理学中西方非言语交际的差异【摘要】:世界全球化、一体化进程日益加快,中西文化的交流与合作越来越多,非言语交际的重要性也越来越明显。

但是,中西文化赋予非言语行为的不同内涵,也带来了交际上的障碍。

本文通过理解非言语交际的定义,着重论述了非言语交际中中国和西方国家上差异,以发现非言语行为在中西文化的交流与合作活动中不同的文化含义及作用,从而避免文化冲突,增强跨文化交际能力,帮助人们踏平社交的道路,成功实现跨文化交际。

【关键词】:非言语交际;中西方;差异;跨文化交际一、非言语交际定义人类交流有两种形式:言语交际和非言语交际,这两种形式在人类沟通的过程中都发挥了重要的作用。

非言语交际是指所有超越语言的交际行为(1),它充和完善了言语交际的不足,是整个沟通过程中必不可少的重要组成部分。

非言语有目光接触、面部表情、姿势表达、空间语言手语等多种表现形式。

人类在进行交流、表达思想、传递信息时,除了使用语言进行传达外,大量的信息还依靠非语言符号。

非言语在传递信息和表达情感中具有语言所不能替代的功能。

萨莫瓦曾说:“在面对面的交际中,信息的社交内容只有35%左右是语言行为,其它都是通过非语言行为传递的。

”(2)(Samovar,1985:155)人们通过服神、面部表情、手势、身姿等诸多无声的体态语,将有声语言形象化、情感化、生动化,以达到先声夺人、耐人寻味的效果,且能充分弥补有声语言表达的乏力和不足,特别是人类在“词不达意”“只可意会不可言传”的情况下,非言语就能发挥其独特的作用,圆满表达情意,达到“此时无声胜有声”的效果。

礼仪,是物质文明和精神文明共同作用产生的成果,是特殊的文化组成形式,其实质还是文化。

不同国家之间的诸多差异造就了各自独特的礼仪文化。

Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject; (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information; or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.6. A stereotype or "stereotypes" is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. The concepts of "stereotype" and "prejudice" are often confused with many other different meanings. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions.第3批[论述题]Define the following terms.1. nonverbal communication2. culture shock3. gender4. stereotype5. body language参考答案:1.Nonverbal communication is the process by which nonverbal behaviors are used, either singly or in combination with verbal behaviors, in theexchange and interpretation of messages within a given situation or context.2.Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. The main cause of cultu re shock is displacement from our "home” culture. This lack of common experiences and familiar surroundings creates varying degrees of consequences.3.Gender and sex are not synonymous. Sex is determined by genetics and biology, while gender is produced and reproduced by society. Societies create meanings of gender; in turn, individuals become gendered as they embody social prescriptions in their personal identities.4.Stereotype is a complex form of categorization that mentally organizes our experiences and guides our behavior toward a particular group of people. There are a number of reasons that stereotypes, as a form of classification, hamper intercultural communication.5.Body language refers to the meaning representing devices as facial expressions and eye behaviors, gestures, and postures.[论述题]Analyze the following cases,and then answer the given questions.Case 1How would you explain the Director's behavior toward Katherine? How would you make the Director understand why Katherine felt frustrated and angry?Katherine came to Beijing in 1998 and found a job as an English teacher in a foreign language institute. Soon after her classes began, she found that her students showed no interest in her teaching style. Quite a few of them avoided attending her class. She was feeling quite upset and discouraged so she decided to ask the Director, Prof. Wang reviewed his timetable and suggested they meet at ten o` clock on Thursday morning. When Thursday came, Katherine arrived at Prof. Wang` office at the exactly ten o` clock finding him talking with another teacher in Chinese. Seeing that she had come, Prof. Wang smiled and gestured her to sit down. Katherine sat down and the professor excused himself and continued to talk with the other teacher. After five minutes, he finished hisconversation, and apologized to Katherine, and began to focus his attention on her situation. Prof. Wang showed great concern and asked her what the problem was. Just as she was discussing her problem, another Chinese teacher interrupted, with a form that required the Director` s signature. The Director smiled, apologized to Katherine again, and turned to talk with the Chinese teacher in Chinese. Katherine became impatient, and wondered why their discussion should be interrupted since she had made an appointment. Also, she was upset and frustrated that they continued to speak Chinese in front of her. Although their talk continued, she was apparently unhappy about what had happened.Case 2Why does Jay refuse to ask his professor or classmen to clarify the directions for his paper?Jay is having difficulty in writing a paper for his communication class, because he's not sure what the professor wants. When he mentions this to his friend Ellen, she suggests he ask the professor or a classmen to clarify directions. Jay refuses, saying "I can figure it out on my own”.参考答案:2. In this case, Jay's unwillingness to ask others for help in understanding his assignment is a sign of his masculine emphasis on independence. As some scholars point out rather humorously, men invariably resist asking directions when they are lost in the road while women do not hesitate to ask strangers for help. What we have discussed about gender identity help us understand this difference. Because women initially develop identity within the first relationships have an undertone of danger-they could jeopardize independence. So Jay's refusal to ask others for help reflects the masculine emphasis on maintaining autonomy and not appearing weak or incompetent. Unless Ellen realizes this difference between them, Jay's behavior will continue to baffle her.)[填空题]10.One of the most fundamental ways culture shapes our being is throughexplicit and implicit ________ about our relationship to the nature of the universe and to the non-human natural world.参考答案:10. teachings[填空题]9.

Of the four experts, two were men and two were women. The two men were dressed in suits with ties and the two women were typically dressed in trousers and their typical business clothes. An authority from Pingyong Foreign Language University and two Korean interpreters greeted them at the Pingyong Railway Station. Surprisingly, while exchanging a few formal remarks, the two interpreters` eyes consistently observed the two Chinese female teachers' trousers. The younger teacher, sensed something and repeatedly checked their trousers and shoes to see if they were dirty or marked. About half an hour later, they arrived at the hotel where they would be staying during their mission. The two interpreters showed eachof them to their rooms to give them an opportunity to freshen up before the formal introductions. In a couple of minutes, the four Chinese teachers gathered in one of the rooms, where the head of the university and the two interpreters introduced themselves further and briefed them on the training program. While talking, the two interpreters seemed to continue to study the two female teachers` trousers. At first, they thought that the Korean interpreters were too embarrassed to look straight in the eyes of a woman. Later this assumption was proved wrong. The four Chinese teachers remained a bit puzzled and did not know what was going on…Case 2Could you explain to Dick why Chen Liang walked into the cafeteria without waiting for him?After graduating from Beijing International Studies University, Chen Liang pursued an MA program at a university in Boston, the U.S. Early in the program, he made friends with some of the American friends, Dick, asked Chen to join him in the university cafeteria. On their way they ran into Dick's girlfriend, Lisa, who was on her way to a lecture. Walking shoulder to shoulder, Dick and Lisa carried on an intimate conversation, as if they hadn't seen each other for ages. Meanwhile, Chen Liang was walking behind them, not taking part in the conversation. When they were nearing the cafeteria Lisa said she had to leave for the lecture. Dick turned away and walked off toward the cafeteria. When Dick looked up, he saw Chen waking into the cafeteria. Dick was puzzled as to why Chen didn't wait for him, and went to the cafeteria alone.参考答案:1. Comment: this is a typical cultural clash between Chinese and Westerners. There is a great difference in the concept of appointment and its behavior pattern in different cultures. To Americans, an appointment is a confirmation to meet at a precise time. If an appointment is scheduled, both parties should respect the appointment time, it should not be interrupted by other things or people. In addition, Westerners are goodtimekeepers; they adhere strictly to schedules. However, Chinese view appointment in a more flexible manner. They are more causal about commitments. This difference in attitudes toward appointment was the roof of Katherine` s unhappiness. Since the Director made a ten o` clock appointment, he should have tried to avoid any interruption. However, when Katherine arrived on time, the Director was still talking with another teacher. When their meeting finally began, it was interrupted again. There is no wonder Katherine became frustrated and angry.2. Suggested answer:In public, the norms of expressing one's feeling and affections toward the opposite sex vary across culture. In Asia and some countries around the Mediterranean Sea, it is acceptable to have body contact between the same sexes in public, but not between the opposite sexes, especially in front of the friends. Chen left because he felt awkward witnessing them hugging and kissing. This shows that Dick knows nothing about the natural response of the Chinese to certain behaviors. Similarly, Chen Liang's behavior shows that he is also in the dark about American behaviors.[填空题]9. In broad terms, nonverbal communication covers four areas: timelanguage (temporal language or chronemics), space language (spatial language or proxemics), language(body movement orkinesics), and paralanguage (voice modulation).参考答案:9. body[论述题]Define the following terms.1. nonverbal communication2. economic globalization3. gender4. linear time5. intercultural communication competence参考答案:1.Nonverbal communication is the process by which nonverbal behaviors are used, either singly or in combination with verbal behaviors, in the exchange and interpretation of messages within a given situation or context.2.No country is the dominant economic force in the world. Economic expansion in globalization has resulted in multinational corporations participating in joint ventures, licensing agreements and other international business arrangements.3.Gender and sex are not synonymous. Sex is determined by genetics and biology, while gender is produced and reproduced by society. Societies create meanings of gender; in turn, individuals become gendered as they embody social prescriptions in their personal identities.4.The West views time either as an arrow or as a moving river that comes from a distant place in the past and goes to an equally distant place in the future. In this linear view of time, history is goal-directed and gradually progressing in a certain direction.5.Intercultural communication competence (ICC competence) is the ability to effectively and appropriately execute communication behaviors to elicit a desired response in a specific environment.[判断题]10.

What are the potential problems of interculturalcommunication? Have you ever experienced anyintercultural communication barriers? If any, how do you deal with them?2. “Culture is shared, learned behavior that is transmittedby one generation to another.” What does this statement mean to you in terms of your own personal development?3. Using examples from the English language, discuss howthe language offers insight into some cultural beliefs and attitudes of the British/American people.4. Successful intercultural communication depends not onlyon what we say and the manner in which we say it, butalso on the behavior we display. Use examples to support this statement.The Potential Problems of Intercultural CommunicationWith the development of economic globalization,the potential problems of intercultural communication that arise in interactions between people from different cultures.I have never experienced any intercultural communication barriers,but to learn the course of coss cultural communication.I have learned s lot of information about Intercultural Communication.As far as I am concerned,there are many problems in intercultural communication.Firstly,the language barrier is a major obstacle in cross-cultural communication.For example,two people from different countries, speaking different languages and knew nothing about each other's languages, even they can make use of means of communication such as gestures, figures, but because of the language barrier, the two sides is difficult to understand each other very well.Secondly, non- verbal behavior information is fuzzy complex and unconscious.So it is difficult for us to understand other countries’ culture.Thirdly, intercultural communication has other problems.For one,culture set which is used to organize and simplify the perception of others as a selection process. Cultural stereotype is often highly infectious, once formed, ingrained, will be in quite long period of time to be used in groups or individuals.And it affects information processing method, the problem simplistic, generalization and exaggerate.Even cultural stereotype is strong in an attempt to get the facts out.For another, cultural bias. It is often distorted, misleading in intercultural communication.What’s more,it is ethnocentrism.Ethnocentrism is a kind of thought culture is superior to other cultures, the broad sense is to members of other groups.It will lead to the speaker on the misrepresentations, misleading people to other groups to make false assumptions. Last but not least,the psychology of a stranger would make two strangers meet willgenerate tension, alert, withdrawal or defense psychological tendency.To sum up,I found some methods to overcome the potential problems.First of all, To obtain the knowledge of the target culture and communication skills.As well as the position, emotion, behavior patterns transmit the native culture to the target culture.Then developing the ability of language, communicative competence, pragmatic competence.For instance,fostering the intercultural awareness to strengthen cultural exchanges.Then we should do as the Romans do the degree of master that we called "Seek common ground on major issues while reserving differences on minor points".Finally,to imaginate and share the emotions and experience with others in cross-cultural communication.All in all,people of different cultures appear a series of problems when they communicate to others.But we must know the potential barriers to the formation and find out the feasible countermeasures to overcome obstacles.So that we will promote the world cultural exchange and development.。

跨文化交际课后作业

跨文化交际课后作业

Judy and Carman are talking with each other, while their children are playing together. Through the conversation between Judy and Carman, there are some problems. Judy has invited Carman for a date for twice but actually she never said an exact time so they didn’t get together. Is Judy dissatisfied with Carman? Absolutely not, so why?According the seven C’s Principles of Communication, effective communication has features of completeness, conciseness, consideration, concreteness, courtesy, clearness and correctness. However, Judy’s invitation didn’t satisfy the principles of completeness, concreteness and clearness. Judy’s invitation is noneffective. And there are four reasons for why she said that:Firstly, she wants to be polite to Carman. They are talking friendly and this sentences express Judy being respectful of Carman. Secondly, she wants to make the conversation closer. In the beginning, they all sharing their own things about their children and family, Judy’s invitation makes association between them, which could help them a closer relation. Thirdly, that makes it easy to start a conversation when they meet again. There is always topic for them to talk with each other the next time they meet. Finally, maybe she wants to end this conversation.I n conclusion, Judy’s noneffective invitation means that she doesn’t want to invite Carman, and that’s just a formula. Carman should know this formula when Judy invites her without exact and detailed information.。

跨文化交际案例分析作业

跨文化交际案例分析作业

跨文化交际案例分析作业
1原因
从跨文化交际中的语言交际来看,双方在语言交流过程中,并不那么成功。

我校工作人员由于语言繁琐,没有简明扼要的写出航班到达目的地的时间,导致对方没能按时去接机。

并且在出发之前应该与对方取得电话联系,让对方做好准备,同时也能达到再次确认的效果。

同时也要多保留一些联系方式,仅仅一个微信,一个电话号码,考虑的似乎不太周全。

从文化因素来看,再去印尼之前,我们的工作人员并没有详细的了解印尼的风俗习惯和礼仪观念。

互送礼物的环节,虽然我们是考虑到了,可是考虑的不周全,这就提醒我们做什么事情不能理所当然,马马虎虎,一定要做到细致。

2解决方式
遇到这种情况肯定要先冷静下来,不能急躁。

我们可以关注微信交流平台动态,并继续拨打号码,并咨询机场服务人员,我们的拨打方式是否存在错误。

最好的办法是我们想尽一切办法自行去学校。

3经验教训
从语言交际来说,我们双方的交流重要信息要简明扼要,突出重点信息。

到达机场的时间一定要简洁清楚,并且在出发之前,以及路途中也可取得联系告知对方我们的行程,再次确认对方知道我们的到达时间。

就联系方式而言,我们应该多保留一些电话号码等。

就文化因素来讲,我们还是要多了解对方国家的风土人情以及关于礼节的一些细节。

特备是在礼品这个问题上,我们要充分的考虑,礼品互送不能只考虑到个人以及所在系,我们也要考虑到我们各自校方的荣殊。

跨文化交际案例

跨文化交际案例

案例一:文化休克与教学汉语教师志愿者小胡被分到了加拿大的一所孔子学院,每天的教学任务都是晚上的课程,而且小胡所住的公寓距离上课的地方很远,每天小胡都要在晚上自己打公共交通上下班。

小胡每天下班回家时候都很害怕,久而久之,小胡变得很焦虑,甚至有点抑郁。

她平时是一个内向的姑娘,给家人打电话时候,喜欢报喜不报忧,父母问起她在加拿大的生活时,她也不愿意倾诉她的苦恼。

小胡很长时间都睡不好觉,每天上课也不精神。

只想着早日回国。

分析:小胡作为汉语教师外派志愿者,在异国遇到这样的文化休克,是很正常的。

但是小胡没有采取积极的态度去面对和解决,只是一心想结束任期,是完全不可取的。

在小胡身上发生的这些事情。

我们通过跨文化交际的角度来看,是完全可以避免和解决的。

首先,小胡作为女生不适应每天晚上的课程,可以跟外方学校或孔子学院提出申请,将自己的教学安排在白天,或者有其他教师陪同一起回住所的时间。

其次,小胡应该对这样的事情又积极的态度,积极排解自己的不好情绪。

可以给祖国的家人朋友打电话倾诉,得到来自朋友鼓励和支持,努力适应生活。

更应该外向的与当地的同事其他志愿者好好相处。

积极融入加拿大的生活。

如果真的觉得失眠会造成生活上的问题,应该寻求心理医生的帮助,积极治疗,早日恢复平常状态。

不应该不让心理上的生活上的问题影响自己的教学,反而更加积极地投入教学中,会给自己带来更多的满足感,来自学生的积极的反馈也会使小胡更有动力。

总之,遇到文化休克不可怕,应该主动适应调整,早日度适应跨文化的环境。

案例四:斋戒月与学习老师发现法益在晚上的补习课堂上表现不佳,好几次在老师面前睡着了,交代的课业也没完成,学习效率变差,课堂测试中的表现也很不好。

老师的心里感到十分焦急,这样下去对法益的学习很不利。

可是法益之前的表现一向非常优秀,为何近日却如此反常?下课后,老师向法益了解情况,才得知近日是斋戒月,法益是虔诚的穆斯林,每日清晨4点起身膜拜吃早餐,傍晚7点才可进食,他的生活作息有了巨大变化,无法专心上课和写作业。

跨文化交际采访报告

跨文化交际采访报告

种藐视。

最为注意的是与尼日利亚人交谈的时候,不要盯视对方,他们忌讳对方盯视自己,因为这是不尊重人的举止。

而中国人认为聊天时看着对方的眼睛是一种尊重。

3.对客人问长问短,可能会侵犯客人的隐私,或者有些问题是客人不愿回答的,这时客人可能会表现出不耐烦,尼日利亚人在往后的交往中对那一个客人可能不会再像最初的那么热情。

4.随着社会的不断发展,等级观念会不会越来越减弱。

因为等级观念是一种落后的、封建的文化。

在社会发展的定义上,可以说是错误的思想观念。

1.1眼神。

“眼睛是心灵的窗户”,无论那个国家交际活动都离不开目光交流,但是目光的交流含义又因不同的文化而不同。

中国人认为紧盯着对方的目光会令人不安;在美国,谈话时的目光接触表示自信、诚恳,但要注意的是,男人之间的长时间凝视有可能被误认为是同性恋;英国男人交往直视对方的眼睛体现绅士风度;在南美,直接的注视则表示信任;阿拉伯人在倾听尊长或宾朋谈话时,两眼总要直勾勾地注视着对方,以示敬重;法国人在公共场合凝视陌生女性见惯不怪,那是欣赏对方的美丽;日本人、韩国人认为长时间看着别人是一种粗鲁的行为,是威胁对方,或者可能是性欲暗示。

In fact, Westerners lack of eye contact as a lack of interest.
要注意眼神交流,西方人的交往中特别注重眼神和肢体语言的交流,如果你常常微笑,常常给外教眼神回应,他们会觉得你真正地在参与交流,而且很尊重他,他会自然而然地很注意你的回应,并与你作更深层次的交谈。

别不相信,外教自己也会紧张,你的眼神甚至还可以帮助他觉得舒服和自然,就更容易投入交流了。

1,在欧美文化中,没有眼神的沟通几乎是不可能的,与对方讲话时,或听对方讲话时,一定眼看着对方,否者将被视为对谈话内容没有兴趣,或心理有鬼不敢正视对方,或是性格过于羞怯。

就是在低位不相等的人之间也是如此。

2.但在东方文化中,目光接触就不一定要有。

但两个地位不等的人对话时,地位低的那一个一般不看对方,因为只是会被认为是一种不尊重的行为。

中国人和西方人之间在目光交流方面的确存在一些难以具体描述的差异。

西方人的目光交流尽管不如阿拉伯国家的人那样热烈,却比中国人热情得多。

中国人总不断地抱怨西方人在交谈时总爱死盯着人,甚至在公开谈话的场合也不例外。

毋庸置疑,西方人较注重眼色交流,实际上眼色交流也比中国人频繁得多。

用反应原则作一推测,就可以预料到西方人可能会发现中国人表情羞羞答答,目光躲躲闪闪,认为其时故作腼腆。

在中国,不论男女,眼睛垂视往往比西方人勤而就不是要求别人看一眼后马上目光避开,而是表示:“我看见你了”、“我知道你是通人情的”、“我并不怕你”、“我不会干涉你的私事的”,还可能表示“我对你的个性很感兴趣”。

中外都有这样的动作模式。

但中国人这种含义深刻的回顾时间要比西方人短。

其结果是西方人,特别是西方女子眼神中本来并无其他含义,中国人,特别是中国男子却以为对方还有别的意思。

英语国家的人在法国也遇到了同样的问题,在那里,人们对他人注视的中性回顾时间甚至比英语国家的人还长。

中西绝大多数人都爱轻易地将中国人凝视他人的表现是个与文化层次有关的问题。

认为中国文化人对外国人不会围观凝视这是对的。

但是围观现象可能也有其他因素在起作用。

我们不妨冒昧地揣测一下,中国人是不是将整个世界看成一个大舞台了,在这个舞台上,不认识的人就像公开演出的演员一样,可以听任人们凝视围观。

西方人对待凝视有一套繁杂的内心抑制方法。

中国却采用了精心设计的外在抑制方法。

中国的高墙、屏风、房屋与车辆的窗帘、底层住房的千奇百怪的百叶窗和窗纱,恋人在公园遮羞的洋伞、扇子等等,都帮助人们得出这样的推测:人或物皆可端详凝视,限制它的责任不在凝视者而落在被凝视者身上。

这一区分也许还不能完全说明问题。

不过既然中西公私观念相去甚远,既然西方国家在凝视问题上的习俗显然在于尊重别人的独处,而汉语在历史上却连表达“独处”的词都不存在,那么就可以有理由地认为,普通中国人在凝视模式上与西方人的根本不同至少部分原因在于这种公私观念上的根本不同。

在拥挤的人行道或马路上,审视他人的模式中西之差虽然微小,却仍然存在。

两人对面而行时,在距离2.5米左右之外是可以互相仔细端详的;近于这一距离,西方人就会目光旁移,以尊重别人的独处。

在此如果有什么区别的话那就是中国人端详的时间要长一些,是等对方与自己相距较近时才目视它方,以避开与对方视线相遇。

中国人打量别人时也不像西方人那样躲躲闪闪的。

中西这种凝视模式的不同在相互不发生接触时问题还不大,可是当他们相互交往时,就会引起极不相同的奇特的反应,有时会使彼此难以忍受。
