Abstract

ABSTRACT The initial response to Covid-19 exposed widespread racism and Sinophobia across the world, which contributed to a rethinking of equality and diversity in Higher Education (HE) and beyond. Within Modern Languages, much attention has been placed on decolonising the curriculum. The death of George Floyd in 2020 further contributed to an increased awareness of the need to rethink racism and challenge current practice within the curriculum. This paper re-examines the findings of a doctoral study exploring students' development of Intercultural Competence (IC) and criticality in Modern Languages with the aim of revisiting ways in which students' intercultural development can be defined and fostered in Higher Education.

新冠肺炎与跨文化性：重新审视现代语言学位课程中关于跨文化能力和关键性发展的假设

摘要新冠肺炎的初步应对暴露了世界各地普遍存在的种族主义和恐华症，这有助于重新思考高等教育（HE）及其他领域的平等和多样性。在现代语言中，课程的非殖民化受到了极大的关注。乔治·弗洛伊德于2020年去世，进一步提高了人们对重新思考种族主义和挑战课程中当前做法的必要性的认识。本文重新审视了一项博士研究的结果，该研究探讨了学生在现代语言中跨文化能力（IC）和批判性的发展，目的是重新审视在高等教育中如何定义和培养学生的跨文化发展。

期刊介绍： Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives. The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.
