大学生中华文化传播能力的发展变化个案研究

Development of university students’competency of introducing Chinese culture:A case study

大学生传播中华文化的一个重要途径是使用英语对外讲述个人故事。本文基于某高校通选课程,以一名选课学生用英语构建个人故事的过程为个案,研究大学生传播中华文化能力的发展变化。本文采用历时研究方法,跟踪了为期18周的课程,并分析相关数据,包括个案的故事稿、反思日志、半结构式访谈以及课程资料等。研究发现,大学生的“讲故事能力”经历了“无知无行”“知而欠行”“知而笃行”三个发展阶段,大学生对个人故事的理解、构思和表达,在不同能力发展阶段呈现不同特征;课程活动和个体活动对能力发展起到重要的中介调节作用。

An important way of Chinese culture introduction by university students is the use of English to tell personal stories to the outside world.Based on a general elective course at a university,this paper examines the development and change of Chinese culture introduction competencies among university students,using the process of an enrolled student constructing a personal story in English as a case study.This paper adopts a longitudinal research method,tracking the 18-week course and analyzing relevant data,including the case’s story drafts,reflection logs,semi-structured interviews,and course materials.The study finds that university students’“storytelling ability”undergoes three stages of development:“ignorance and inaction”,“knowledge but insufficient action”,and“knowledge and committed action”.University students’understanding,conception,and expression of personal stories exhibit different characteristics at different stages of competency development.Both curricular and individual activities play important mediating and moderating roles in competency development.
