中国非英语专业大学生跨文化敏感度实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Intercultural Sensitivity of Chinese Non-English Majors

依托《影视作品中的跨文化交际》课程,基于陈国明和Starosta(2000)的跨文化敏感度量表,对中国非英语专业大学生的跨文化交际敏感度进行实证研究。研究结果表明:在跨文化敏感度五个因素中,交际参与度得分最高,而交际关注度得分最低。皮尔逊相关分析表明:跨文化敏感度多个因素之间存在显著相关。访谈结果表明:基于案例教学法的跨文化教学对学生跨文化交际敏感度及其跨文化交际能力有显著的提高作用。

Based on a course, Intercultural Communication in Movies, this study investigates the in- tercultural sensitivity of 128 non-English majors in China by adopting the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale （ISS） developed by Chen ＆ Starosta（2000）. The results show that among the five con- structs of ISS,the participants get the highest mark at Interaction Engagement,while the lowest mark at Interaction Attentiveness. The correlation coefficient analysis reveals that several con- structs of ISS are significantly correlated. Interviews with some of the subjects indicate that case- based teaching has significantly enhanced students＇ intercultural sensitivity and their overall in- tercultural competence.
