旅游社会影响研究——以大理古城居民学英语态度为例

A Case Study in Dali, Yunnan Province, China

本文通过调查云南省大理古城居民对学英语的态度和掌握英语的程度研究旅游开发的社会影响。结果表明，大量外国旅游者的到来，对大理古城居民学习英语的影响很大，一部分人已掌握英语这个交流工具，大部分年青人已把英语作为他们所受教育的一个重要部分。

Dali has become one of the most popular attractions for foreign tourists since it had its first foreign visitors in 1983. As a result, English came into the life of the local people. This paper presents and explains the results of questionnaires and interviews about Dali people's attitude toward learning English. Three types of questionnaires were designed to local businessmen, local residents and foreign tourists. Interviews were also given whenever possible. With the development of tourism, Dali is gradually becoming a place where Chinese culture and western cultures meet and coexist.
