1.Can you give a brief definition of culture shock?

Provide two examples of culture shock, please.


Culture shock can be described as the feeling of confusion and disorientation(迷茫)that one experiences when faced with a large number of new and unfamiliar people and situations. Many things contribute to it- smells, sounds, flavors, the very feeling of the air one is breathing. Of course, the natives’ unfamiliar language and behavior contribute to it, too. People’s response to culture shock vary greatly, from excitement and energetic action to withdrawal, depression, physical illness, and hostility. A particular individual might react to culture shock one way one day and another the next.

The notion of culture shock calls two useful points to mind. First, most people experience some degree of culture shock when they go to a new country, whether they admit it to themselves and others or not. Culture shock is more a product of the situation of being in a new culture than it is of the traveler’s personal character.

Second, culture shock, like other kinds of “shock”, is normally transitory. It passes with time.

Academic analysts(学术分析家) of the culture shock idea point out that the experience of culture shock need not be negative. While there may be some unhappiness and unpleasantness along with the confusion and disorientation, the confusion and disorientation are necessary steps in lear

ning about a new culture. If everything in the new place is just like home, no learning will come from being there.

2. List some important terms you have learned in this Unit. Make sure you understand what each of them refer to and how they may affect cross cultural communication.
Within the business context, cross cultural communication refers to interpersonal communication and interaction across different cultures. This has become an important issue in our age of globalisation and internationalisation. Effective cross cultural communication is concerned with overcoming cultural differences across nationality, religion, borders, culture and behaviour.

Cross cultural communication is critical to the business world. The diversity of people in cities and countries means an element of cross cultural communication will always be needed whether it is between staff, colleagues, customers or clients. Awareness of cultural differences can favourably impact the success

of a business. Improved staff interaction, better customer relations and effective client management are all areas that will reap benefits through cross cultural understanding.

Although cross cultural communication competency can only be truly achieved through cross cultural awareness training, language acquisition, foreign travel and cultural immersion (文化融合,渗透) there are some guidelines that can enhance your cross cultural communication skills

1. Can you give a brief definition of Non-verbal Communication?
Nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless messages. i.e., language is not the only source of communication, there are other means also. Messages can be communicated through gestures and touch (Haptic communication), by body language or posture, by facial expression and eye contact. Meaning can also be communicated through object or artifacts (such as clothing, hairstyles or architecture), symbols, and icons (or graphics). Speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, rate, pitch, volume, and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Dance is also regarded as a form of nonverbal communication. Likewise, written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the physical layout of a page.

However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on face-to-face interaction, where it can be classified into three principal areas: environmental conditions where communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction。

专题/案例报告
一、简答题(共 1 道试题,共 100 分。)
1. 从8个单元的网上讨论中选择1个专题或案例,根据实时或非实时讨论情况个人撰写一份案例分析报告。
English is a language particularly rich in synonyms .i.e.different words which stand for the same thing. This is partly because of the convention, particularly in written English ,that one should avoid repeating the same word over and over again .So instead of repeating ‘enough’ one may substitute ‘sufficient’,instead of repeating ‘everlasting’ one may use ‘never-ending’.No two words are exactly identical. However .It is usually possible to find some difference between them or some context in which one is appropriate but not the other .Such differences can take several forms. It may be a difference in regional variety. ‘Autumn and fall ’,for example, both refer to the same season, but one is used in British English ,the other in American English. Similarly ,’snack’ and ‘baggin’ both refer to a light meal, but the former is standard English and the latter is a regional variety form the north of England. There may be stylistic differences . ‘salt’ and ‘sodium chloride’ are synonymous , but the former is an everyday expression, and the latter is technical. Similarly ‘recalcitrant’ is a formal equivalent of ‘disobedient’. There may also be differences in the emotional connotations of words. ‘Youths’ and ‘youngsters’ are synonymous, but Youths sound less pleasant than youngsters. The emotional associations which a word brings to mind will often differ from person to person ,so are to some degree unpredictable.This calling someone a ‘republican’ may suggest he has praise-worthy qualities to those in England who wish to abolish the monarchy, but connote objectionable characteristics to those who support it.
