On Cultivating Intercultural Awareness and Competence of Senior High School Students in Enlish Teaching

论文摘要

随着国际交往与交通的发展,世界经济的全球化,人口迁移的广泛分布,导致工作伙伴与社会群体之间多文化并存的现象日见频繁,跨文化交际也因此成了21世纪人们生存与生活的必备能力。为了能与来自不同文化的人们顺利沟通,个体必须注重跨文化交际能力的培养:从跨文化交际意识,敏感度进而到能力的形成。简而言之,对他文化的尊重即是不同文化之间顺利沟通的基础。 我们的外语教学正是在教语言的同时从小培养学生跨文化交际意识与能力的有效途径之一。而这个目的却因为中学普遍存在的应试教育的压力,教师自身素质的参差不齐及其他种种原因而几乎被忽略。长期以来,中学英语教学接受和实践了以结构主义理论为基础的教学方法,强调语言内部结构的认知,注重词汇、短语、语法等知识的教学,而忽视了目的语背景文化知识的导入,致使学生学习英语常因不了解中西文化差异在交际中出现很多语用错误。 众所周知,语言使用得体与否,离不开社会文化知识。语言学研究表明,语言中储存了一个民族所有的社会生活经验,反映了该民族文化的全部特征。所以语言和语言的应用不可能脱离文化而独立存在。正如美国语言学家布朗所说,“:语言,作为传承同一文化民族的交际工具,是对文化本身、文化表现形式、人们风俗习惯以及生活方式最可见的和最有效的说明和呈现。(Brown,1994:170)由于语言是一种民族文化的表现与承载形式,不了解这个民族的文化,也就无法真正学好该民族的语言。因此,外语教学不仅要学习词汇、语法等语言知识并进行基本技能训练,更应该把这种学习与训练放到文化教学的大背景中进行,最终使学生获得语用能力。 随着英语教学改革的深入,文化导入和文化意识的培养越来越受到人们的重视。国内外有许多学者已对此进行了讨论和研究,并发表了大批专著和论文。但大多都是外语与文化教学的课题,而对如何培养中学生的跨文化意识尤其是如何结合新课程标准进行跨文化意识的培养少有涉及。因此本文结合新课程标准,就如何培养中学生的跨文化意识进行了探讨,通过对本课题的研究,力求使学生建立和发展文化敏感性,在语境教学和模拟与真实的语言活动中逐步克服在目的语文化学习和使用中可能产生的文化诧异感,并逐步形成对目的语文化的认同感。 本文旨在唤醒中学同行们在英语教学过程中注重文化差异意识的渗透,探讨在
