The Influence of Chinese Popular Culture on American Learners and Coping Strategies

文章基于文献梳理和访谈调查,首先对中国流行文化对其影响以及关注中国流行文化的困难两个方面进行分析。研究发现,流行文化对于美国汉语学习者的影响体现在社会文化和汉语学习两个方面;关注中国流行文化的困难体现在语言学习、获得渠道、社会环境以及中美文化之间差异几个方面。在此基础上,探讨面向美国汉语学习者开展中国流行文化教学的应对策略:美国华裔群体积极推动中国流行文化元素融入美国社会、中国文化推广机构加大对中国流行文化的关注和支持、汉语教育机构重视资源建设和课程设置、汉语教师在课堂教学中将流行文化教学落到实处。本文对于促进中国语言文化的国际传播具有一定的启示意义。

Based on literature review and interview investigation, this paper firstly investigates two aspects: the influence of Chinese popular culture and the difficulty of paying attention to Chinese popular culture. It is found that the influence of popular culture on American Chinese learners is reflected in social culture and Chinese learning. The difficulties of paying attention to Chinese popular culture are reflected in language learning, access channels, social environment and differences between Chinese and American cultures. Then, it analyzes the strategies of Chinese pop culture teaching for Chinese learners in the United States: Chinese communities in the United States actively promote the integration of Chinese pop culture elements into American society;Chinese cultural promotion organizations pay more attention to and support Chinese pop culture;Chinese educational institutions attach importance to resource construction and curriculum setting, and Chinese teachers implement popular culture teaching in classroom teaching. Chinese popular culture is a very important way of understanding Chinese culture and language for overseas Chinese learners. This paper, by investigating four Sino-US cultural-education platforms, aims to explore the channels and the influences of Chinese popular culture and the difficulties of accessing Chinese popular culture, and then gives some suggestions on Chinese popular culture teaching for American learners.
