思辨能力培养导向下跨文化交际课程案例教学法新探

New Application of Case-based Teaching Method Oriented to the Cultivation of Critical Thinking Ability in the Course of Intercultural Communication

案例教学法是跨文化交际课程最常用教学方法之一。但是,在当前的跨文化交际课程案例教学中还存在着案例陈旧、带有刻板印象,案例教学方式不利于发挥学生主动性和积极性,案例开发主体单一等问题。“教师案例教学+学生案例开发”教学模式不仅可以缓解这些问题,还有利于学生掌握跨文化理论知识,增强学习者的跨文化意识和跨文化敏感度,提高其跨文化交际能力,提高学习者的思辨能力。

Case-based teaching method,is the most commonly used teaching method in the course.However,there are still some problems with the current case-based teaching,including the outmoded teaching cases with stereotypes,poor performance in motivating learners’enthusiasm and initiative for learning,and teachers being the only developers of teaching cases.The teaching mode of“teachers’case teaching combined with learners’case development”can help relieve the problems with the current case-based teaching in the course of Intercul⁃tural Communication.It is beneficial to the mastery of intercultural communication theories,and the enhance⁃ment of intercultural awareness and sensitivity of the learners,thus improving their intercultural competence.More importantly,it can improve the learners’critical thinking.
