Learn the notions of Culture, Communication and Intercultural Communication. 目的 Learn the differences between Chinese and Western cultures 教学重点Learn the notions of Culture, Communication and Intercultural Communication. 与 难点 I. Warm-up Cases 教 学 内 容 与 过 程 设 计 Please discuss the cases in groups and make a comment on it. Case 1: Showing Concern In China: Xiao Li (an interpreter): You must be very tired. You?re old… Catherine (an elderly American lady): Oh, I?m NOT old, and I?m NOT tired. Comment What the interpreter said is quite courteous in China. It means, “If you are tired, we can take a little rest, since you are getting on in years.” The interpreter gave the impression that he thought the elderly lady would collapse any minute if she doesn?t rest immediately. Comment In the West, there is a value placed in being young that many people consciously, or subconsciously, are not willing to accept that they are growing old. In the West: A: How are you doing now? Would you like to rest? B: No, not a bit. The way of showing concern is different. In China In the West Case 2 First Offer A Canadian colleague and I traveled to Guilin with our admirable guide Heping Liu in very hot weather. Sightseeing is a thirsty business. We did not trust the water, and enjoyed excellent beer. We politely offered some to Heping but he
refused. We said nothing and drank our beer, while poor Heping watched. On another day, Heping quickly accepted our offer of beer. Questions for discussion In your daily life, do you often accept first offer? If yes, in what situation? Comment I. Why take Intercultural Communication? The Purpose The general purpose of this course is to understand the ways in which culture interrelates with and effects communication processes. Intercultural learning involves affective and behavioral processes, as well as cognitive ones. Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and attitudes that will increase your intercultural communication competence. The Objectives 1) To explore cultural self-awareness, other culture awareness and the dynamics that arise in interactions between the two. 2) To understand how communication processes differ among cultures. 3) To identify challenges that arise from these differences in intercultural interactions and learn ways to creatively address them. The Reasons Development of Science &Technology Globalization of Economy Widespread Immigration Development of Multiculturalism International Communication Interracial Communication Interethnic Communication or minority communication II. What Is Culture? 1. Define cultures yourself Please write down whatever comes to your mind when you hear or think of culture. Next, try to figure out how they are related to culture. 2. Definitions of Culture 1) Culture is the total way of life that a group of people shares. 2) Culture is a system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of a society use to cope with their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to generation through learning. 3) Culture is an Integrated system of learned behavior patterns which are characteristic of the members of a society and which are not the result of biological inheritance. 4) Culture is the deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, actions, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and artifacts acquired by a group of people in the course of generations
through individual and group striving(努力,奋斗 ). 5) Culture is the total accumulation of beliefs, customs, values, behaviors, institutions and communication patterns that are shared, learned and passed down through the generations in an identifiable group of people. 3. Elements of Culture 4. Three Ingredients of Culture artifacts concepts (beliefs, values, world views…) behavior e.g. Whereas the money is considered an artifact, then value placed on it is a concept, the actual spending and saving of the money is behavior. 5. Characteristics of Culture III. What Is Communication Can you give some examples to explain the word communication? What is communication? 1.Definition of Communication Generally speaking, communication can be defined as a dynamic, symbolic, transactional and contextual process in which people create shared meanings or messages. 2.Basic aspects to Communication Our individual personality The culture we operate in The physical environment that surrounds us 2.Model of Intercultural Communication The more similarities two cultures share, the less influence culture will have on communication. Therefore, the less messages will be changed during communication. The less the cultures are alike, the greater the influence of culture on communication will be, and the more likely the messages will be changed. Misunderstanding in intercultural communication often arises here. 3. Barriers in Intercultural Communication Language differences Nonverbal communication Stereotypes (陈规,成见 ) Cultural bias on judgments High level of stress V. The Differences between Chinese and Western Cultures Western: small, intimate family, retirement home, the old are separated, children leave early; being independent and look after themselves. Parents never interfere with their children affairs when they are old enough. western: performance oriented, little rote(死记硬背) memory, ability to solve problems; practical competence of running a business is more important. Western:, time oriented relationships (work, free time), make an appointment before you go to see anyone, no appointment, no business. Law superior to friendship and kinsfolk.
