【摘要】：出国留学语境下英语学习者的跨文化交际能力如何变化仍是个有待进一步澄清的问题。本文以中国某高校33名赴美国或澳大利亚参加为期3周的短期出国留学项目的研究生为研究对象,基于跨文化交际恐惧量表和跨文化敏感度量表以及个人访谈,探索短期出国留学以及语言熟练程度对跨文化交际恐惧和跨文化敏感性的可能影响。研究发现:短期出国留学显著降低了英语学习者的跨文化交际恐惧水平,但却未对他们的跨文化敏感性产生显著影响;而英语学习者语言熟练程度越高,其跨文化敏感性亦随之提高,但跨文化交际恐惧程度却没有改变。此外,跨文化交际恐惧水平较低的学习者,其跨文化敏感性更强,两者存在显著的负相关。本研究结果表明短期出国留学语境下英语学习者的跨文化交际能力的发展与长期出国留学语境有所不同,而语言熟练程度对它的影响亦值得进一步关注。
[Abstract]:How to change the intercultural communicative competence of English learners in the context of studying abroad is still a question to be further clarified. This paper uses 33 Chinese colleges and universities to attend a three-week program of short-term study abroad in the United States or Australia. Objective to study graduate students, Based on the Cross-Cultural Communication fear scale, the Cross-Cultural sensitivity scale and personal interviews, To explore the possible effects of short-term study abroad and language proficiency on intercultural communication fears and cross-cultural sensitivities, the study found that short-term study abroad significantly reduced the level of intercultural communication fear among English learners. However, there was no significant effect on their cross-cultural sensitivity. The higher the language proficiency, the higher the cross-cultural sensitivity of English learners, but the level of fear in intercultural communication did not change. Learners with low level of fear in intercultural communication are more sensitive to cross-culture. The results show that the development of English learners' intercultural communicative competence in the context of short-term study abroad is different from that of long-term study abroad. The influence of language proficiency on it deserves further attention.
