| 在跨文化交际日益频繁的今天,提高年轻一代的文化意识显得尤其重要,这正是本书的目的。本书从大的文化框架内选择了一些反映英语国家社会与文化现象的主题进行讨论和对比。在英语文化中,希腊神话、圣经故事是人们的价值观念和信仰的最根本的源泉;女陛主义、民权运动、海外华裔反映了历史的变迁、文化的碰撞、融合与发展;流行文化、企业文化让我们感受到现代社会的脉搏。本书的英文名定为Insights(Ⅰ),是因为我们希望通过对这些主题的学习和讨论,让学生在了解英语国家文化的同时,对自身所处的文化环境进行思考,形成两种文化的对比,从而提高学生的文化意识,培养出对文化现象的洞察力,并在跨文化交际的过程中能够应对自如。 本书每部分的阅读量都大于实际可用学时数,教师可根据实际情况,对教材进行取合,合理安排教学内容,其他部分可以由学生自主学习和讨论。 |
