Face-to-face contact in blended learning for intercultural education: the role of teachers     

Roger Austin  Angela Rickard  Jacqueline Reilly 《Irish Educational Studies》2017,36(3):323-340

In societies experiencing or emerging from conflict, teachers often deliver educational programmes designed to build community cohesion. We report on research which examined teachers’ views of the implementation of a programme involving both face-to-face and online contact between pupils. Findings suggest that this blended approach is highly motivational, enhancing online work and relationship building. The research underlines the importance of the political, educational and historical context for work of this sort and the impact this has on the particular blend of online and face-to-face interaction. Implications for policymakers and teachers include value for money and sustainability of blended intercultural education in similar contexts.  相似文献

Shaping global teacher identity in a short-term mobility programme     

Donna Tangen  Deborah Henderson  Jennifer Alford  Erika Hepple  Amyzar Alwi  Zaira Abu Hassan Shaari 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2017,45(1):23-38

This article explores the shaping of Australian and Malaysian pre-service teachers’ possible selves in a short-term mobility programme. With the theory of possible selves, individuals imagine who they will become based on their past and current selves. The focus of the research was on pre-service teachers’ possible selves as global and culturally responsive teachers. The experiential learning through participation in the programme allowed participants to consider their future possible selves as teachers with a deeper understanding of diverse learners’ needs and how they might strive to address these needs in their own classrooms. The scaffolding of reflections in the programme encouraged the pre-service teachers to take on multiple perspectives, to step outside their comfort zones and in many ways to see the world from different eyes. The research found that through experiential learning in the short-term mobility programme both the Australian and Malaysian pre-service teachers gained in positioning their cultural selves currently and as future teachers, suggesting that there is merit in utilising the theory of possible selves in future research in the area of shaping teacher identity.  相似文献

Promoting intercultural understanding and reducing stereotypes: incorporating the cultural portfolio project into Taiwan's EFL college classes     

Ya‐Chen Su 《Educational studies》2011,37(1):73-88

Learning about foreign language (FL) cultures is becoming an important objective in the FL curricula and national standards of different countries throughout the world. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of the cultural portfolio project on: (1) students' concept development in their perceptions of the target language culture and their own; (2) students' evaluation of stereotypes towards English‐speaking cultures; and (3) students' self‐awareness and perception of EFL (English as a foreign language) and cultural learning process. Data were collected from students' cultural portfolio projects, classroom observation, and interviews. Results indicate that through the cultural portfolio project, students engaged in active learning, gained insight into specific aspects of the target language cultures and became more aware of the diversity within these cultures, and developed their ability to think critically instead of automatically accepting cultural information.  相似文献   

Multicultural contacts in education: a case study of an exchange project between different ethnic groups     

Jaap Schuitema  Wiel Veugelers 《Educational studies》2011,37(1):101-114

One important aim of citizenship education is learning to deal with cultural diversity. To this end, schools organise exchange projects to bring students into contact with different social and cultural groups. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intergroup contact in educational settings and to understand what the most favourable conditions are. The paper discusses a case study on an exchange between 10th‐grade students of Surinamese and Dutch‐Antillean backgrounds from an Amsterdam suburb with native Dutch students from rural Netherlands. The study included interviews with teachers and students and pre‐ and post‐tests of intergroup attitudes. The results indicate that students become more aware of their own preconceived ideas. The results show that interaction on the individual level is important. Getting students to work together on common goals is an effective way of stimulating interaction.  相似文献   

跨文化交际能力教学     

姜波 《黑龙江教育学院学报》2011,30(3):164-166

语言与文化密不可分,因此英语语言教学也就是文化教学。目前几乎所有人都认可大学英语教学的最终目的是交际能力的培养,而交际能力的各个组成部分都离不开文化,也就是说跨文化交际能力才是大学英语教学的最终目标,跨文化交际能力与大学英语教学息息相关。怎样将跨文化交际能力的培养融入大学英语教学才是现在英语教学最应该关注的问题。讨论或辩论、角色模仿、演讲和情景分析几种方法被多数学者倡导,同时"冲突事例"方法似乎是结合各种方法于英语教学的最好解决方案。虽然跨文化交际能力教学与英语教学息息相关,但是其培养与教学仍然存在很多问题,值得进一步探讨和研究。  相似文献   

日本终身教育学视野下的异文化接触     

何明清 《成人教育》2011,31(2):36-38

日本终身教育学的教育本质在于具备众多非正式要素的“形成性机能”,终身教育学必须是作为坚决置身于“整个生涯”视野的“教育学”而存在。兴趣、娱乐、休闲等异文化接触行为向来被学校教育价值观视为同“学习”异质的东西,但却是终身教育学重要的研究对象和主题。文章以“旅行”为例阐述了异文化接触中促进非正式学习过程实现的机制问题,对多元文化的共生具有启示意义。  相似文献
