Case 1 Dinner with friendsJanice is a young American engineer working for a manufacturing joint venture near Nanjing, she and her husband George, who is teaching English at a university, are learning Chinese and enjoying their new life. They have been eager to get to know Chinese people better so were pleased when Liu Lingling, Janice’s young coworker invited them to he r home for dinner.When Janice and George arrived, lingling introduced them to her husband Yang feng, asked them to sit down at a table containing 8 plates of various cold dishes, served them tea and then disappeared with her husband into the kitchen. After a few minutes lingling came back and added water to their tea. Janice offered to help in the kitchen but lingling said she didn’t need help. She invited the couple to look at their firsthand CD player and their color TV and then disappeared again.A half-hour later she came back and sat down and the three began to eat. Yang feng came in from time to time to put dish after hot dish on the table. Most of the food was wonderful but neither George nor Janice could eat the fatty pork in pepper sauce or the sea cucumbers, and there was much more than they could eat. They kept wishing Yang feng could sit down so they could talk to him. Finally he did sit down to eat a bit, but quickly turned on the tv to show them all its high tech features. Soon it was time to go home.George and Janice felt slightly depressed by this experience, but returned the invitation two weeks later. They decided to make a nice American meal and felt lucky to find olives, tomato juice, crackers and even some cheese I the hotel shops. They put these out as appetizers. For the main course they prepared spaghetti and a salad with dressing made from oil, vinegar, and some spices they found in the market.When liu lingling and yang feng arrived they were impressed by the apartment and asked the price of the tv, video palyer, vaccum cleaner and other things. Janice politely refused to answer their questions. They took small tastes of the appetizers and seemed surprised when both George and Janice sat down with them. They ate only a little spaghetti and did not finish the salad on their plates. George urged them to eat more but they refused and looked around expectantly. Janice and George talked about their families and jobs and asked the Chinese couple about theirs. After a while, George cleared the table and served coffee and pastries. Yang feng and lingling each put four spoons of sugar into their coffee but did not drink much of it and ate only a bite or two of pastry.After they left, George said that at least they had a chance to talk, b ut Janice was upset. “we left their place so full that we couldn’t walk and they’re going to have to eat again when they got home. What went wrong?1.How are differences in objective culture, in this case food culture, contributing to thecommunication difficulties?2.How do Chinese understandings of the host-guest relationships influence how Liu and Yangentertained Janice and George?3.How are George and Janice relying on words to make friends with Liu and Yang?4.What advice can you give to both couples to help them further their friendship?Case 2 Finding an interested buyerGeorge Hall was in Beijing attending a trade fair and looking for an opportunity to do business in China. He had been very successful in his business dealings in the US and prided himse lf on his ability “to get things moving”. His first day was going well. He looked around at the displays of sporting equipment to get some idea of whom he might approach. He was sure that his productive, tennis rickets with an unusual new design, would arouse some interest. On the second ascendancy he approached the company which he felt would be most responsive to his products. He introduced himself to the general manager, a Mr. Li. Since he had read that Chinese find getting down to business immediately too abrupt and rude, he began a casual conversation, eventually leading up to the topic of his products and suggesting how Mr. Li’s company might benefit from using them. George then suggested that he could arrange to get together with Mr. Li and provide more specifics and documentation on his products.Mr. Li responded in fairly good English, “That would be interesting”.Knowing that he had only a few days left in Beijing, George wanted to nail down a time. “When can we meet?” asked George.“Ah. This week is very busy,” replied Mr. Li“It sure is,” said George, “How about 10 o’clock? Meet you here.”“Tomorrow at 10 o’clock?” asked Mr. Li thoughtfully.“Right”, said George, “I’ll see you then?”“Hmm, yes; why don’t you come by tomorrow,” was the reply.“OK”, responded George, “It was nice meeting you.”The next day at 10 o’clock he approached Mr. Li’s company’s exhibit only to find that Mr. Li had some important business and was not able to meet with George. He called back later in the day and was told that Mr. Li was not available.1.What expectations does each of these men have about the formality of a firstbusiness contact?2.What should George have noticed about Mr. Li’s responses to his suggestion for ameeting? Use the concept of high and low context communication in your explanation.3.What advice would you give to each of the two men about how to avoid makingthe same mistakes the next time one of them is in a similar situation?Case 3 What is true friendship?Yang ruifang worked as a secretary in an Australian company in Melbourne. She became friendly with one of the Australian secretaries, a woman named Cathy Lane. The two usually ate lunch together and Yang often asked Cathy for advice on problems she faced adjusting to Australian society. Cathy gave her a lot of advice and helped her move from one apartment to another. Cathy went with Yang to the Immigration Bureau several times to help sort out some problems. Yang visited Cathy several times at home but did not invite Cathy to her apartment because she shared it with four other people. If they did not see each other over the weekend, they usually talked on the telephone. As Yang was also preparing to take an English test, she was able to get a lot of help with English in this way.However, something seemed to be going wrong, Cathy seemed to be getting impatient, even a little cold. She started going out by herself at lunchtime instead of eating with Yang, and seemed reluctant to answer questions. Yang was puzzled. She couldn’t imagine wh at the problem was.1.What was Yang doing that made Cathy decide that the relationship was not a truefriendship?2.Why did Yang think the relationship was developing well?3.From this case what do you think Australians and other westerners expect fromtheir friends?4.Give advice to Cathy and Yang to help them restore their friendship.Case 4 How do students learn?Karen had been teaching high school English in the United States before she accepted a teaching job at a teacher’s college in china. She found her new environment and her new teaching assignment exciting. Both her students and her colleagues seemed a bit shy of her, but Karen was sure that in time they would all come to be friends.In the classroom, however, Karen was very frustrated. When she asked a question, the class was silent. Only if she called on a particular student would she get an answer, often a very good one. She could not understand why they wouldn’t volunteer when they obviously knew the answers. They were very quiet when she was speaking in front of the class, and never asked questions, let alone interrupt with an opinion, but as soon as the class ended, they would cluster around her desk to ask their questions one-by-one. They would also offer their suggestions about the lesson at this time. Karen often asked her students to work in small groups during class, especially when they were editing each other’s writing. They were slow to move into groups and when they did, they often simply formed a group with the people sitting next to them. Finally she devised her own system of forming groups to get them to interact with students sitting in another section of the classroom.Most frustrating of all, after she taught her class how to edit essays, she found that the students were likely to write vague and not very helpful remarks on their classmates’ papers. They would say nice things about the essays and correct small grammatical errors, but seemed unwilling to criticize them in a way that would help another student revise the essay. They usually accepted her criticism of their writing with good spirits and promises to improve. In fact they frequently asked for more correction of their English from her than she wanted to give. She felt that one hundred percent grammatical correctness was not as important as learning how to correct what they had written on their own and with the help of others. After all, they would not always have a teacher to tell them what was good and not so good about their English writing.1.Explain why students are behaving in the way she experiences as a problem.2.What do you appreciate about the traditional Chinese way of learning and what doyou appreciate about the way learning some foreign teachers prefer?3.What do foreign teachers do in class that make Chinese students uncomfortable?Case 5 Sharing the wealthAnna had been working for a Chinese-owned and operated company in Nanjing for about six months. The division she was working in had a small collection of Chinese-English dictionaries, English language reference books, and some videos in English including a couple of training films and several feature films that Anna had brought at her new employer’s request when she came from Europe. An na knew that some of the other sections had similar collections, she had sometimes used her friendship with one of the women in another department, Gu, to borrow English novels and reference books and in turn had le Gu borrow books from her section’s collection. On other occasions, she had seen friendly, noisy exchanges, where one of the other workers in her division had lent a book or video to a colleague from another section.Anna thought it was a great idea when a memo was circulated saying that the com pany’s leaders had decided to collect all the English language materials together into a single collection. The plan was to put them in a small room that was currently being used for storage so that all employees could have equal access to them. Now she would no longer have to go from department to department trying to find the materials she needed.Anna was surprised to hear her co-workers complaining about the new policy. When the young man in charge came to the department to collect their English language materials, she was astounded to see them hiding most of the books and all but one of the videos in their desks. When she checked out the new so-called collection, she found that the few items were all outdated or somehow damaged. She also noticed that none of the materials she had borrowed from Gu were in the collection. She asked her friend why the Chinese were unwilling to share their English language materials with all their co-workers, when they seemed willing to share them within their department.1.What explanation do you think Gu gave Anna?2.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the ways people in both individualistand collectivist cultures share resources.。
