短期海外游学对高等院校在读学生跨文化交际能力的影响

Effect of short-term overseas study tour on improving intercultural communicative competence for undergraduate or graduate students

目的以中奥-欧盟暑期学校为例,探讨短期海外游学对高等院校在读学生跨文化交际能力培养的影响。方法 2016年7~8月利用文化智能反映受访者跨文化交际能力,采用电子版本自填式问卷对2016年该项目参与学生以及2012~2015年中国中医科学院参与学生进行调查。采用单样本t检验,对文化智能量表4个维度和20个条目得分与平均值(持'中性'态度者,介于赞同与不赞同之间)进行比较。结果共有48名参与者参与本调查。通过参与中奥暑期学校,受访者在文化智能4个维度均有显著提高(P<0.01)。在具体条目方面,除了'增进了对其他文化的婚姻体系的认识'以及'更加喜欢生活在自己不熟悉的文化中'未有显著的提高外(P>0.01),其余条目得分均有显著提高(P<0.01)。结论短期海外游学能显著提高高等院校在读学生跨文化交际能力。
