利用精读课堂 培养学生跨文化敏感性

Cultivating the Cross-cultural Sensitivity through Skimming

以培养学习者的跨文化敏感性为切入点,在探讨语言与文化关系的基础上,通过课堂实践来阐述文化导入的必要性和可操作性,目的是使学习者认识到,语言不是孤立的结构和现象,而是与具体的语言环境即语言所依赖的文化、社会、历史、宗教等因素相依相存。

One of the purposes of learning a second language is communicating with native speakers. For English, how to cultivate the linguistic sensitivity has been heatedly discussed over years. This paper explores the necessity and possibility of introducing English-orientated culture on basis of the connection between language and culture, intentionally making it clear that language is anything but a phenomenon existing in isolation, it is, however, interrelated with sociology, history, philosophy, ect. with which language co-exists.
