国际汉语教师证书跨文化交际部分考点跨文化人际交往

国际汉语教师证书跨文化交际部分考点跨文化人际交往

国际汉语教师证书跨文化交际部分考点——跨文化的人际交往1、跨文化交际中处理朋友关系。

中国人常常抱怨西方人的朋友关系不够持久,分开后很少保持联系。

而有些西方人会觉得中国朋友太热情,对他们的私生活介入太多。

对于中国人来说,朋友之间有一种牢固的感谢纽带,彼此承担一种义务和责任。

中国人究竟哥们儿义气,为朋友两肋插刀,为了友谊有的人可以做出很大的牺牲甚至做出违背原则的事情。

但是在美国人看来,朋友关系的内涵是情感而不是义务,为了友谊牺牲原则的事情很少发生。

2、对中国人来说,“关系”在很多方面有重要的影响,中国人看重关系。

在中国是先建立人情关系,然后再请求帮助。

如果想要得到一个人帮助,需要与这个人建立较好的人情关系,比如请客、送礼,然后再请求帮忙。

而且中国的“关系”可以转移,比如把这种关系可以介绍给他的朋友,使第三方得到帮助和照顾。

3、中国人情的核心是互惠或者回报,礼尚往来。

按照中国人的观念,你帮助了我,对我有恩惠,我就欠了你的人情,一定要找机会回报。

日本人也有强烈的报恩观念,甚至还可能延续几代人。

而美国人强调个人的独立性,他们会把这种互惠的人情关系看做一种负担。

他当面接受邀请或者礼物以后通常会表示感谢,但不会觉得有回报的义务。

4、跨文化的工作关系。

个体主义文化如美国文化,倾向于把工作与私人生活严格区别开来,同事之间保持一种职业举例。

工作时间里,同事之间很少谈论私人事情,打私人电话或者处理个人私事一般是不允许的。

下班后,同事之间很少像朋友一样参加社交活动。

而中国,“单位”尤其是政府单位或者国有企业更像一个社会组织或者大家庭,单位经常组织集体旅游和聚餐,解决员工生活困难,关系员工的恋爱婚姻家庭。

5、亚洲、非洲等集体主义文化中人们特别重视面子,同事之间对事情有不同看法时,中国人不太喜欢当时就表达反对意见,怕伤了同事尤其是领导面子,而是过后再找机会提出。

而西方人喜欢有问题当面辩论或者协商。

6、与陌生人打交道。

中国、日本等东亚国家属于集体主义文化,而且性格比较内敛、含蓄,不太习惯与陌生人打交道。

跨文化交际 知识点整理

跨文化交际 知识点整理

第一章.跨文化交际概论1跨文化交际汉语国际教育本质上是一种跨文化的活动。

新世纪如此广泛而深入的跨文化交际主要是受到以下因素的影响1.交通和通信技术的发展2.经济的全球化3.人口的流动4.广泛的国际交流与合作什么是跨文化交际?跨文化交际既是一种人类的社会活动,也是指一门研究跨文化交际活动的学科。

根据几个定义归纳出跨文化交际的重要特点:1.跨文化交际是不同文化背景的人们之间的交流;2.跨文化交际是通过象征符号来实现的;3.跨文化交际是一种动态的过程4.跨文化交际是一种双向的互动;5.跨文化交际的目标是创建共享的意义跨文化交际是不同文化背景的人们之间的交际,这里的跨文化交际实际上包含着两个层面一个层面是指不同国家和不同民族的人们之间的交际,例如中国人与美国人等另一个层面是指同一个国家或民族中,不同性别、年龄、职业、地域的人们之间的交际,例如男性和女性之间的交往就可以被看做是一种跨文化的交往跨文化交际的特点1.跨文化交际主要指人与人之间面对面的交流面对面的交流既包括了语言交际也包括了非语言交际,而且是一种双向交流和互动的过程2.跨文化交际中涉及很多差异性(陈国明)差异可以是文化传统、价值观、信仰等方面的差异,也涉及行为方式和习俗方面,如手势、衣着、语言使用的差异,同时也涉及个人文化身份和社会角色方面的差异。

这些存在差异的因素相互作用,影响了跨文化交流的过程和结果3.跨文化交际容易引起冲突由于语言、交际风格、非语言行为、思维模式、社会准则、价值观等方面的差异,跨文化交际很容易产生误解和冲突4.跨文化交际的误解和冲突大多属于“善意的冲突”许多冲突往往不是出于人们恶意的动机,而是来源于人们良好的愿望。

在自己文化中得体而礼貌的行为到了另一种文化中却成了无礼的举动,善良的意图却产生了意想不到的误解和不愉快5.跨文化交际常常引起情感上的强烈反应很容易造成心理紧张,人们经常提到的“文化休克”就是形容在跨文化交际中产生的心理反应。

一般分为物态、制度、行为、心态四个层次。

第四单元Stress in Cultural Encounters☐Why is interacting with foreigners sometimes stressful?☐What is “culture shock”?☐What do you need to learn to become a more effective communicator?Stress in Cultural Encounters☐Foreign language as a source of stress☐Uncertainty, stress, and intercultural encounters☐On risk, stress, and intercultural encounters☐Unpredictability as a source of stress☐Expectations and intercultural communication☐Expectations and adapting to a new culture☐Unfamiliarity as a source of stressCulture Shock☐It is a feeling of being confused and overwhelmed by life in another culture.☐It is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.☐These signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situation of daily life: how to give orders, how to make purchases, when and where not to respond.☐Now these cues which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we are not consciously aware.Causes of cultural shock☐Loss of control☐Being deprived of familiar and loved things and people☐Physical, mental, and emotional fatigue (culture fatigue)☐Discrepant expectations, lack of social support and in sufficient social skillsSymptoms of culture shock☐Homesickness☐Boredom☐Withdrawal☐Need for excessive amount of sleep☐Compulsive eating and/ or drinking☐Irritability☐Exaggerated cleaniness☐Marital stress, family tension and conflict☐Chauvinistic excesses第五六单元Projected Cultural Similarity☐The tendency to assume that people from other cultures basically think and feel more or less the same way we do.☐There are sufficient similarities among peoples of the world to make communication easy.☐Once you get used to their different (dress, manners, style) they are just like us. ☐Denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation, and integration. (Ethnocentrism)Projected Cultural Similarity☐The Golden Rule: Do unto others what you would have them do unto you./ Do as you would be done by.☐Do not unto others what you would not be done by. 己所不欲勿施于人☐Expecting others to be the same as we are/do the same as we do☐Culture shock☐Frustration☐Wince☐Other Obstacles: Stereotype, ethnocentrismEthnocentrism☐Assuming that the world-view of one’s own culture is central to all reality, the idea that your own race, nation, group etc is better than any other☐Obstacle that leads to distrust, conflict, even hostilityEthnorelativism☐Maintaining that cultures can only be understood relative to one another; there is no absolute standard of rightness or goodness that can be applied to culturalbehavior; cultural difference is neither good nor bad; it is just different. Accepting and allowing difference to be difference.Comparing Communication styles☐Direct – indirect☐Linear – circular☐Self-enhancement – self-effacement☐Talk – silence☐Succinct –elaborate☐Person- and task- oriented – relation- and status-orientedHigh context communication☐Collectivists are expected to “read the other’s mind” during communication, so the message is quite indirect, dependent on hints, the use of the eyes, distance between bodies, and so on.☐In speech, collectivists employ ‘we’ more often and they depend on context (tone of voice, gesture, posture, etc.) to convey meaning.Low context communication☐In speech, individualists tend to use ‘I’ and emphasize content.☐Individualists say what is on their minds, even if it risks damaging the relationship.☐Americans, valuating pragmatic action, are quick to come to the point in conversations.☐The responsibility for meaning falls mainly to the speakers, whose job it is to formulate ideas into clear language. The more lucid speakers are the more highly regarded they are as communicators.Looseness vs. Tightness☐“Loose” cultures do not demand a high degree of conformity.☐“Tight” cultures exp ect a relatively high degree of conformity.☐Individualist cultures tend to be “looser” than collectivist cultures.☐The Middle of the road/Golden mean/Happy medium/via mediaEthnocentrism and Projected Cultural Similarity☐They are closely related, but describe somewhat different phenomena.☐Ethnocentrism is taking one’s own cultural norms as the standard by which to judge people of other cultures.☐Projected cultural similarity is assuming that people of other cultures view things the same way we do.第七单元In-groups and out-groupsWe generally have more positive feelings toward members of our in-groups than we do toward outsiders.We tend to have a stronger sense of obligation to insiders than to outsiders.We tend to judge in-groups and out-groups by different standards.For better communication, we need to find ways to counter-balance our natural tendency to judge out-groups more harshly.第八单元Dealing with conflict☐Collectivists and preservation of harmony: Collectivists want their in-groups to be monolithic and homogeneous—with everyone thinking, feeling, and acting in the same way; they think that in such groups, there will be harmony. They feel more comfortable than individualists in the presence of like-minded others. Individualists emphasize harmony less and often think that an argument clears the air.Dealing with conflict☐Honesty vs. tact: collectivists often find themselves in a dilemma when they have to communicate an unpleasant message. Although they value honesty, theyvalue even more keeping relationships. If telling the truth means damaging a relationship, they would rather tell a white lie.Lying is an acceptable behavior in collectivist cultures, especially if it saves face or benefits the ingroup. In contrast, individualists see lying as breaking the contract, and since contracts are very important, this is a serious offense.Dealing with conflict☐American directness:When faced with a problem, Americans like to get to its source. This means facing the facts, meeting the problem heed on, putting the cards on the table, and getting information “straight from the horse’s mouth.” Consistent with these tendencies, it is also desirable to face people directly —to confront them. Confrontation is not necessarily rancorous, but it does involv e reporting one’s feelings honestly, expecting reciprocal honesty, and dealing with the person involved in the problem.Dealing with conflict☐American directness:There is also, however, a strong need to preserve “surface cordiality.” In communication, Americans (especially white middle-class) tend not to express strong emotions. Americans also abide by a strong convention to preserve surface cordiality in social interactions. Kind words and pleasant smiles are natural and expected; sharp opinions and critical positions in face-to-face encounters are avoided for fear of disrupting social conviviality.Dealing with conflict☐American views of conflict:At the root of the American confrontation style is the concept that adversaries can compete against each other and at the same time cooperate under the rules for interpersonal conflict.☐Chinese and harmony:Harmony is the foundation of Chinese culture.Dealing with conflict☐Chinese provisional responses that allow avoidance of a direct “no”:⏹It’s not conve nient.⏹There may be some difficulties.⏹The problem isn’t too big.⏹We should study this.⏹We should think about this.第十单元Advice forcommunicating with westerners☐Try not to read too much into North Americans’ words or be oversensitive to nonverbal nuances. Focus on what North Americans actually say; what they say is often what they really mean.☐Be aware that self-affirmation and individuality are important to North Americans.☐Be aware that everyone should be treated equally. One should use polite speech with family members and intimate friends, and also with strangers (including store clerks, waiters, and so forth).Advice forcommunicating with westerners☐Accept that North Americans consider it good to speak directly and that requests are often stated directly and explicitly.☐Recognize that being assertive is valued in North American culture, and that “no” is accepted as an assertive — not necessarily rude — response.☐Understand that what Chinese consider modesty may be viewed by NorthAmericans as low self-confidence. Speak positively about oneself and one’s abilities is expected.Advice forcommunicating with westerners☐Be cautious about asking personal questions, because North Americans may consider them offensive and insulting. North Americans may also feel that what Chinese consider guan xin (concern) is meddling and intrusive.☐Accept that North Americans like to express their opinions openly.Usage☐to read into : to think that a situation, action etc, has a meaning or importance that it does not really have. 理解时加进(原本没有的意思)⏹You read love into her casual friendliness.⏹Don’t read more into her letter than she intend ed.⏹Just because he is so nice to you doesn’t necessarily mean he is in love with you. He is really nice to every woman he meets, so don’t read too much into it.⏹It was only a casual remark, I think you’re reading too much into it.Usage☐to read into →to read sth. into sth.; to read much into sth. 理解时加进(原本没有的意思)⏹Although it was a comedy, you could read biting social comment into the actors lines.⏹Too much should not be read into the minister’s statement: we can’t expect a sudden easing of the situation.⏹Try not to read too much into North American’s words or be oversensitive to nonverbal nuances.Things collectivists need to learn for interacting with individualists☐Tend to give priority to individual goals.☐Often base behavior on “internal attributes”.☐Are more likely to ask questions in class.☐Less willing to maintain relationships at a cost.☐May want to spend time alone, consider privacy important.☐Tend to attribute behavior to internal (personal) causes.☐Try to change social situations into which they do not fit.Things collectivists need to learn for interacting with individualists☐Are able to interact in relatively superficial social relationships, moving in and out of them.☐Need to compliment in-group members more.☐Expect competition.☐Tend to get to the point during meetings.☐Generally take contracts seriously.☐Don’t expect in-group membership to confer too many special privileges.Things East Asians should learn about (individualistic) Westerners☐Tend to have high self-esteem and need to express this.☐Are relatively enthusiastic and expressive.☐Stress pleasure, fun, and happiness.☐Decide quickly, but implement decisions more slowly because relatively few people are included in the decision making process.☐Place value on consistency between attitu des and behavior. Dislike “hypocrisy”.☐Don’t make sharp distinctions between public and private behavior.Things East Asians should learn about (individualistic) Westerners☐More likely do something because they want to than out of obligation.☐Expect clear definition of relationships. Like to use contracts.☐Expect most relationships to last a relatively short time.Strategies for Chinese☐Treating one another as equals.(平等相待)☐Mutual respect for privacy. (相互尊重私人权)☐Seeking the common ground. (求同存异)☐Placing one’s self in the other’s shoes. (换位思维)☐When negotiating with Westerners or trying to make arrangements with them, a “multiple choice” strategy should be adopted to give Westerners many options to choose from. This plays to Westerners’ individualistic tendenc ies.。

跨文化交际考点

跨文化交际考点

第一章跨文化交际概述1 在文化学研究领域,通常把文化分为主流文化和亚文化.2 文化的特征:交际的符号性、民族的选择性、观念的整合性和动态的可变性.3 交际的本质属性:有意识行为和无意识行为、编码过程和解码过程以及语法规则和语用规则。

4 除语言之外,人类在长期的社会实践中还创造了许多交际工具,主要有以下三大类:文字、盲文和手语、旗语、灯语和号语。

5跨文化交际的概念和要点:跨文化交际是指在特定的交际情境中,具有不同的文化背景的交际者使用同一种语言(母语或目的语)进行的口语交际。

主要包括四个要点:①交际双方必须来自不同的文化背景②交际双方必须使用同一种语言交际③交际双方进行的是实时的口语交际④交际双方进行的是直接的言语交际第二章文化背景与跨文化交际6 从跨文化交际的现实情况来看,影响交际的制约因素主要集中在三个方面:价值观念(文化特质的深层结构)、民族性格(文化特质的外化表现)、自然环境(文化特质的历史缘由)7 态度由认知、情感和意动三个范畴构成。

8 态度具有四个功能:功利实现功能、自我防御功能、价值表现功能和客体认知功能9 直觉的整体性是整体思维的第一个特点,东方人以直觉的整体性与和谐的辩证性著称于世。

10 什么是民族中心主义?请联系跨文化交际的实例加以说明。

民族中心主义是指某个民族把自己当做世界的中心,把本民族的文化当做对待其他民族的参照系,它以自己的文化标准来衡量其他民族的行为,并把自己的文化与其他文化对立起来。

古代中国,有相当长一段时间内,有很强的民族中心主义,这是过于强烈的民族自尊心的产物。

美国人的心态就是以自己的价值评判作为依据,所以老是要“管闲事”,充当“国际警察“。

美国国名除了United States,还有America,美国人被称之为Americans,这是典型的民族中心主义的表现。

第三章社会环境与跨文化交际11 有效的交际不仅依赖于对文化背景的认识,也依赖于对社会环境的认识,而社会环境对交际来说实际上就是广义的“交际情景“。

Source发送信息的人The source is the person with an idea he or she desires to communicate.12.Encoding编码Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), humans are not able to share thoughts directly. Your communication is in the form of a symbol representing the idea you desire to communicate. Encoding is the process of putting an idea into a symbol.13.Message信息The term message identifies the encoded thought. Encoding is the process, the verb; the message is the resulting object.14.Channel渠道The term channel is used technically to refer to the means by which the encoded message is transmitted. The channel or medium, then, may be print, electronic, or the light and sound waves of the face-to-face communication. 15.Noise噪音The term noise technically refers to anything that distorts the message the source encodes.16.Receiver接的人The receiver is the person who attends to the message.17.Decoding解码Decoding is the opposite process of encoding and just as much an active process. The receiver is actively involved in the communication process by assigning meaning to the symbols received.18.Receiver response反馈The receiver is the person who attends to the message. Receiver response refers to anything the receiver does after having attended to and decoded the message.19.Feedback反馈Feedback refers to that portion of the receiver response of which the source has knowledge and to which the source attends and assigns meaning. 20.Context语境The final component of communication is context. Generally, context can be defined as the environment in which the communication takes place and which helps define the communication.精讲案例Case 1 (p.1) case 2 (p.2)思考题1、what are the four trends that lead to the development of the global villageP8-9+简要说明convenient transportation systemsinnovative communication systemseconomic globalizationwidespread migrations2.What are the three ingredients of culture?Artifacts(the material and spiritual products people produce)Behavior(what they do)Concept(what they think)3.How to understand cultural iceberg?

In high-context cultures, verbal messages have little meaning without the surrounding context, which includes the overall relationship between all thepeople engaged in communication. (沉默是金;一切尽在不言中;心有灵犀一点通)A low context communication is the just the opposite; i.e. the mass of the information is vested in the explicit code.High-context culture low-context cultureJapanese Chinese Korean American …………..

As to the relation of man to nature, they think mankind can conquer nature. They also have a linear time concept and therefore they are future-oriented. They focus on doing and think that only actions can solve the problem. They are quite individualistic and therefore they focus less on the benefits of the group.As far as the human nature is concerned, Chinese culture holds that it is good but corruptible without proper education. As to the relation of man to nature, they think mankind can live in harmony with nature. They also have a cyclical time concept and therefore they are past-oriented. They have a being-and-becoming attitude towards activity and think that man should keep an inner peace as nothing is eternal. They are quite collective and therefore they focus more on the benefits of the group. 14.
