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 learning about a new culture. If everything in the new place is just like home, no learning will come from being there.总分值:502. List some important terms you have learned in this Unit.

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: environmentalconditions where communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction.总分值:50 得分:37 评价:2.

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.学习记录008-、简答题〔共2道试题,共100 分.〕1.

国开电大《跨文化交际与汉语教学》期末大作业答案一、案例分析(25分/题,共50分)案例一李老师是一名汉语志愿者教师,在美国大学教口语课。
期末考试的形式为一对一的口语考试,考试的时候,她面对学生,认真倾听学生的口试,记录出现的语音语法错误,尽最大可能做到客观评分。
然而,分数发布以后,一名美国学生对分数提出申诉,理由是:“我在进行口试的时候,老师一直对我微笑,并且频频点头,我以为她对我的口试非常满意,可是为什么给了我这么低的分数!”李老师很迷惑:考试时对学生微笑,是为了缓解学生的紧张情绪;点头是为了鼓励学生继续往下说。
请问,如何理解学生对李老师的误解?如果你是李老师,这件事对你的教学有何启示?请你从非言语交际行为的文化差异、国际汉语教学环境中师生文化冲突两个方面对案例进行分析。
案例二在国内一所大学的短期汉语班上,一位年轻的女汉语教师每次上课都直呼一位六十多岁的日本进修生的名字,这引起了班上一些日本和韩国学生的不满,他们觉得这位年轻的女老师直接叫长辈的名字是不敬的表现。
而班上的法国和美国学生则认为,老师对所有的学生都叫名字,没有什么不对的地方。
请问,学生对老师称呼方式的不同反应体现了怎样的价值观方面的差异?假如你是案例中的这位老师,你会如何称呼这位年长的学生?如何解决这一文化冲突?可以结合文化依附策略来进行分析。
二、文化活动设计(50分/题,共50分)假设你在美国一所小学任教,中秋节快到了,请你为他们设计一个“一起过中秋”的活动。
围绕以下几点考虑:如何根据学生的年龄特点设计活动?可以设计哪些活动?2.如何制造流动性,让学生动起来?3.给学生布置什么任务,使他们用语言完成交际?4.如何让所有学生都参与其中?参考答案一、案例分析案例一参考答案1这个案例涉及到了非言语交际行为的文化差异以及国际汉语教学环境中的师生文化冲突。
让我们从这两个方面来分析学生对李老师的误解以及可能的启示:1. 非言语交际行为的文化差异:微笑:在一些文化中,微笑通常被视为友好和支持的体现,可能会用于鼓励、安慰或者表示满意。
