中学生跨文化敏感度研究

An Analysis of the Intercultural Sensitivity of the Middle School Students

对369名中学生进行跨文化敏感度测评,结果显示,中学生的交际信心最弱,其次是交际专注度、交际参与度和交际愉悦感,而差异认同感最强。在中学外语教学中,应增加文化和交际知识比重,培养学生在真实的语境中与不同文化背景人士交流所使用语言和行为举止的有效性和得体性。同时教育部门应设法提升教师跨文化敏感水平,建设一支具有较高跨文化敏感水平的教师队伍。

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the level of intercultural sensitivity of students. The results indicate that students got the lowest mark at Interaction Confidence, the second lowest at Interaction Attentiveness, the third at Interaction Engagement, the forth at Interaction Enjoyment, while the highest at Respect for Cultural Differences. In middle school English teaching, emphasis should be stressed on the teaching of culture and communication knowledge to enhance the effectiveness and appropriateness on the students in communication with people from other cultures in authentic context. Moreover, the education department should try to improve teachers＇ intercultural sensitivity and build up a faculty with high level intercultural sensitivity.
