英国曼彻斯特大学孔子学院文化体验课发展模式分析

Analysis of the mode of Cultural Experience Course of the Confucius Institute in the University of Manchester

作为英国第一家系统并长期规划推广汉语和中华文化的孔子学院,曼彻斯特大学孔子学院从2009年至今,在通过语言体验课、文化体验课传播汉语和中华文化方面取得了一定的成效。笔者作为曼彻斯特大学孔子学院文化体验课的参与者和研究者,对其文化体验课的课程设置、课程开设情况、课程效果以及原因进行了系统调查和分析,将决定课程开设的因素总结为课程的趣味性和互动性、给予学生的成就感、课程难度与可操作性、授课教师的素质与能力、当地政策的要求;将文化体验课对教师的特殊要求总结为专业文化知识与传播技能、对当地教育情况的了解、与当地学生的交际能力;提出了教师素质、课程评估两个亟待解决的问题。

As the first Confucius Institute that has a systematic and long-term plan to promote Chinese and Chinese culture in the UK,the Confucius Institute in the University of Manchester has made some progress in promoting Chinese and Chinese culture through its Language Experience Course and Cultural Experience Course since 2009.As a participant and researcher of the Cultural Experience Course,the author of this paper has done an incisive analysis of the syllabus,the current situation,development and results of the Cultural Experience Course and concluded that the enjoyment and interactivity,a sense of achievement,the difficulty levels,the capability of the teacher and the local policy are the main factors that mostly influence the Cultural Experience Course;the author has also concluded that the professional knowledge,the understanding of the local education situation and the communicative skills with the students are the main requirements of the teacher;the quality of the teachers and the evaluation of the course are the major remaining problems.
