海南高校外语专业学生跨文化能力调查研究

A Survey on the Intercultural Competence of Students Majoring in Foreign Languages in Hainan Colleges and Universities

跨文化能力是全球化时代所有公民都应该具备的能力与素养,培养具备跨文化能力的全球化公民是当前高校外语教育的重要历史使命。采用中国大学生跨文化能力评价量表对海南省7所高校17个语种的外语专业学生进行调查得知,学生的跨文化能力整体水平中等偏上,其中跨文化态度最积极,其次是跨文化意识和技能水平,跨文化知识最欠缺。多因素方差分析显示:年级、出国经历以及与外国人接触的频率对学生的跨文化能力产生显著影响,但影响的维度存在差异。各外语专业应重视跨文化教学,采用体验式教学模式,为学生创造更多国际化教育或访问机会,内化跨文化知识,发展和提升跨文化技能,培养共情伦理和批判的跨文化意识。

Intercultural competence is a necessary ability that all citizens should possess in the era of globalization.To cultivate global citizens with intercultural competence is an important historical mission for foreign languages education in colleges and universities.A survey on foreign language students majoring in 17 languages in 7 colleges and universities in Hainan Province was carried out by using the Intercultural Competence Assessment Scale of Chinese College Students.It was found that the overall level of students intercultural competence was above average,among which the intercultural attitude was the most positive,followed by the level of intercultural awareness and skill level,whereas the intercultural knowledge is most lacking.Multivariate analysis of variance showed that grade,overseas experience and the frequency of contact with foreigners had a significant impact on students intercultural competence,but the dimensions of the effects are different.Therefore,colleges and universities are obligated to attach importance to intercultural instruction of foreign language majors,especially by adopting experiential teaching mode,creating more opportunities of international education or visiting,internalizing intercultural knowledge,developing and improving intercultural skills,and cultivating empathy and critical intercultural awareness.
