With the rapid development of economy and modern technology, globalization has become a major trend in today's world. Cross-regional and cross-cultural mutual understanding and mutual exchanges help open ourselves and society, and better realize the common progress of people from different regions and different cultural backgrounds. ?What are the methods for effective cross-cultural communication? Below I have compiled methods for effective cross-cultural communication for your reading and reference.
The method of cross-cultural communication takes love as the core educational concept
In the United States, this kind of "love" comes from the influence of religious culture that has been engraved in the bone marrow since childhood. , that is, fraternity; comes from the French Enlightenment ideas absorbed during the formation of the American nation: fraternity, democracy, and equality. This kind of love is deep, extensive, delicate, and natural; this kind of love is selfless, unrewarding, and unforgettable; this kind of love has become the most heartwarming part of the teacher-student relationship and is the most important part of the relationship between teachers and students. Students’ personality, personality, and development are given high priority and full respect, making American basic education a veritable “education of love.” China's "love" education is "love for the motherland, love for the people, and love for the Communist Party of China." For children in the basic education stage, these contents are obscure and difficult to understand. Therefore, how to put "love" into words? "Teaching children is indeed a question that our country's basic education workers need to think deeply about.
The second method of cross-cultural communication is to implement school and class culture
The hardware construction of American schools fully embodies Dewey’s pragmatism, and some California Primary and secondary schools are all "five-no" schools: no school gates, no security guards, no walls, no landmark buildings, and no inscriptions. But as soon as we walked into the campus and into the class, we were immediately infected by the modern and rich cultural atmosphere. The teacher's office is in the corner of the classroom. Although the desk is a bit messy, it is very personal and distinctive. Photos of family members or favorite things are placed on it. Hanging on the walls in the classroom are various works of students, class rules and mottos, and famous sayings. There are usually three to five computers in the classroom for teachers and students to check information online at any time. There is almost nothing fancy here, the main feature is "realness". Therefore, while we are busy formulating various class rules and regulations, can we also pay attention to the construction of class culture to make it more warm and full of home flavor. In this way, our students can no longer be afraid or bored of coming to class, but can change from passive to active, allowing them to devote themselves to a day of study and life from their subjective wishes.
The third method of cross-cultural communication encourages students’ self-confidence, autonomy, individuality, and innovation
In the classroom, the words used most often by American teachers are: “Very good” and “Good” job" "Excellent" "Wonderful" and so on. Teachers often encourage students in every detail and link to enhance students' self-confidence. In terms of curriculum setting, the school has established a student-selected curriculum system. Students can choose courses other than the required courses according to their own characteristics and hobbies. The school has set up corresponding courses to provide targeted guidance and teaching for students with varying degrees of academic difficulty or learning difficulties.
In daily teaching, teachers welcome students to have different judgments and opinions, encourage students to boldly question and ask questions, and clearly propose to cultivate students who are "good at asking questions", protect students' curiosity, and support students in Small inventions, small creations, etc. provide students with time and space for innovation, and train students' ability to discover, ask, analyze and solve problems, as well as their ability to adapt to the future society. Students benefit a lot from the cultivation of this kind of innovative ability, and their thinking often becomes more open-minded. Especially today, when innovation ability and awareness are emphasized, this education model is more conducive to the cultivation and development of students' comprehensive quality. This is why the United States has produced many world-famous companies, scholars, scientists and Nobel Prize winners.
From the founding of New China to 1972, only about 1,500 Americans had traveled to China. Today, more than 800,000 American tourists visit China every year, and there are more than 140 provinces, states, and cities between the two countries. Friendly relations were established. Thirty years ago, China and the United States had no international students from each other. Now, there are 180,000 international students and visiting scholars from mainland China who have studied or worked in the United States, and there are more than 60,000 international students studying in the United States; about 3,000 American students are studying in the United States every year. Study in China.
As a result, more excellent teaching ideas have flowed into our country, and teaching ideas such as "constructivism" have also become more mainstream ideas after the reform of my country's new curriculum standards. Our country has also established many Confucius Institutes in the United States to introduce our knowledge to students who are full of admiration for our ancient cultural country with a history of more than 5,000 years. International students in the United States have also shown us some of their knowledge in international student performance competitions. The learning results can be said to be beneficial to both China and the United States. Our country should ride on the east wind of cultural exchanges between China and the United States, combine the essence of Eastern educational thought, Neo-Confucianism, with the essence of Western teaching thought, reform the classroom and course teaching quality evaluation system, focus on the construction of campus culture, and strive to improve the quality of the people. Cultivate outstanding innovative talents with high quality and high ability.
