Language Teachers’ Intercultural Identity in the Critical Context of Cultural Globalization and Its Metaphoric Realization     

Zia Tajeddin  Susan Ghaffaryan 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2020,49(3):263-281

ABSTRACT

This study used questionnaires and interviews to investigate Iranian English language teachers’ intercultural identity and its metaphoric realization in the context of cultural globalization. While questionnaire findings revealed that the majority held first language cultural identity, factor analysis indicated teachers’ preference for American culture as representative of globalized culture. Interview data indicated teachers’ imagined direct exposure to the global village through the media. Metaphoric analysis revealed the conceptualization of local culture as closed home, which was valued by anti-cultural globalization teachers as protection while devalued by pro-cultural globalization teachers as a limitation. These findings have implications for expanding teachers’ intercultural identity.  相似文献

Fallacies affecting policy and practice in the teaching of English as a foreign language in state primary schools in Asia     

David Hayes 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2017,37(2):179-192

This article discusses the impact of the worldwide trend to introduce English as a foreign language (EFL) into primary schools at ever younger ages. This trend has gained momentum in recent years, affecting millions of children in countries throughout Asia. A policy decision of this kind has far-reaching implications but it is often made without consideration of the availability of human and material resources for its implementation. The result is that children may end up learning little or no English, frustrating the intentions of national governments to develop English proficiency amongst the wider population which is, in turn, supposed to contribute to economic development. Drawing on evidence from India and Thailand, this article questions the economic rationale for introducing English into primary schools and argues that decisions on the starting age at which to teach English should, instead, be considered from an educational perspective, taking into account system constraints.  相似文献   

Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory in the context of globalization     

Simon Marginson  Thi Kim Anh Dang 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2017,37(1):116-129

The article reviews the social-educational theorization of the early Soviet psychologist L. S. Vygotsky (1896–1934) in the light of the impact of communicative globalization in educational practice. Vygotsky proposed four “genetic domains” for investigating higher cognitive processes: the phylogenetic (humans undergoing natural evolution), the cultural-historical (social activity of humans), the ontogenetic (individual lifespan), and the microgenetic (immediate events). Vygotskian sociocultural theory is widely used in educational research, especially Vygotsky’s notion of mediated development via tools and signs. Since Vygotsky, communicative globalization has transformed educational potentials. Nevertheless, provided adjustments are made to Vygotsky’s genetic method to incorporate time-space compression, the mutual presence of the genetic domains, and the glonacal heuristic, Vygotskian theory continues to be useful in socially-situated investigations of educational development and transformation, and opens another way into the global, for example investigation of the role of global mediation in learning.  相似文献

朱莉 《黑龙江教育学院学报》2008,27(6):180-182

在文化“全球化”的背景下,我国英语普及的趋势有目共睹。正当英语发挥积极社会作用的同时,英语在一定程度上表现出来的“语言霸权”特征和随之而来的西方文化对中华本土语言和民族文化形成了强大的冲击。如何顺应“全球化”,保护“本土化”,正确看待英语普及的现象,寻求语言与文化的和谐统一,成为英语教学界值得探讨与研究的重要课题。  相似文献

《资本论》中的经济全球化理论     

王然  杨波 《天中学刊》2006,21(6):58-60

当前的经济全球化是市场经济的全球化,而《资本论》正是一部市场经济宏论。虽然没有使用“经济全球化”的概念,但《资本论》中却包含着丰富的全球化思想。这些思想涉及了经济全球化的产生、发展、后果与历史趋势等各个方面,形成了一套完整的理论。  相似文献
