Abstract

ABSTRACT This ‘inclusive practitioner research’ study presents a collaborative ‘virtual intercultural fieldwork’ project in which Balinese and Chinese university students communicated in English to explore similar emic cultural concepts related to the Japanese concept of amae (presumed indulgence); namely, manying (Balinese) and sajiao (Mandarin Chinese), through online exchanges and interviewing. The project aimed to develop and improve learners’ (including teachers) intercultural communicative competence and multiliteracies related to linguistic competence and intercultural understandings. The project also provided opportunities for the learners to use academic English in authentic situations by posing research questions and exploring methods to discover transcultural understandings through research. Applying the principles of Cultural Linguistics, Exploratory Practice, and Team Learning, the analysis of this project’s unique virtual communication element aims to inspire innovations in classroom design for teaching English as an International Language.

英语作为国际语言的实践:巴厘与中国英语学习者的跨文化实地考察

摘要：这项“包容性从业者研究”提出了一个合作的“虚拟跨文化田野调查”项目，在该项目中，巴厘岛和中国大学生用英语交流，以探索与日本人的amae（假定放纵）概念相关的相似的主位文化概念；即曼英（巴厘岛语）和沙角（普通话）。该项目旨在培养和提高学习者（包括教师）的跨文化交际能力以及与语言能力和跨文化理解相关的多语篇。该项目还通过提出研究问题和探索通过研究发现跨文化理解的方法，为学习者在真实的情况下使用学术英语提供了机会。运用文化语言学、探索性实践和团队学习的原则，分析该项目独特的虚拟交流元素，旨在启发国际英语课堂设计的创新。
