职业教育外语教材中的中华文化融入与呈现研究

Integration and Representation of Chinese Culture in China’s Vocational Education English Textbooks

本研究分析了两套职业教育外语教材中的中华文化融入与呈现的内容和方式。研究发现:一是虽然每套教材各册的编写理念与单元结构一致,但是每套教材各册中融入与呈现的中华文化内容的频次和分布却不一致;二是职业教育外语教材融入与呈现的内容主要涵盖中华传统文化和现代文化,对革命文化的关注度有待进一步提高;三是职业教育外语教材中的中华文化融入与呈现的方式以隐性呈现为主,具体方式有阅读理解、选词填空、汉译英和写作练习;四是职业教育外语教材中,融入与呈现的与职业教育相关的现代文化的频次很低,且均为隐性的融入和呈现。本研究系统论述了职业教育外语教材中应该融入与呈现的文化内容和方式,对于探索职业教育外语教材如何充分发挥其文化使命和在我国外语教育改革创新中的积极作用具有重要意义。

This study analyzes the contents and methods of integrating and representing Chinese culture in two sets of foreign language textbooks for vocational education.It is found that:(1)while the overall compiling concept and unit structure of each textbook remains consistent,the frequency and distribution pattern of the Chinese cultural contents integrated and represented in each textbook varies;(2)the predominant integrations and representations of Chinese culture in vocational foreign language textbooks are traditional culture and contemporary culture,and greater emphasis must be placed on revolutionary culture;(3)exercises,including reading comprehension,blank-filling,Chinese-to-English translation,and writing,primarily serve to implicitly integrate and represent Chinese culture in the vocational foreign language textbooks;(4)The frequency of integration and representation of modern culture related to vocational education in foreign language teaching materials for vocational education is very low,and all of them are implicitly integrated and represented.This study centers on a systematic discussion of the contents and methods of Chinese culture that should be integrated and represented in the vocational English textbooks,which is of great significance in exploring how vocational foreign language textbooks can give full play to their positive role in reforming and innovating foreign language education.
