随着我国经济水平的高速发展,越来越多的学生和社会人士开始接触外国的文化,学习并模仿西方的语言和行为方式,努力地与外面的世界接轨,取得更多的涉外机会。这样的学习和练习并不是一朝一夕便能够学成的,课堂上的学习尤为重要。在民办高校当中,英语课堂往往得不到同学的过多重视,然而保持一颗对西方文化的好奇却是很多人都有的一个心理特点。笔者通过研究和实际教学发现,倘若将跨文化交际理论同民办高校英语课堂相结合,是一个很好的促进学生学习、融洽师生关系、提高学科成绩的有效途径。 With the rapid economic development in our country, more and more students and social persons have come into contact with foreign cultures, learning and imitating the Western language and behavior, striving to connect with the outside world and gain more foreign-related opportunities. Such learning and practice can not be learned overnight, and classroom learning is especially important. Among private colleges and universities, English classes often do not receive too much attention from their students. However, maintaining a curiosity about Western culture is a psychological feature that many people have. Through the research and practical teaching, the author found that combining the theory of intercultural communication with the private college English class is a very effective way to promote students’ learning, to harmonize the relationship between teachers and students and to improve their academic performance.
