摘要

本研究采用混合方法设计,评估 GeoGuessr 和基于问题的学习(PBL)在提高中国环境下英语作为外语(EFL)学习者的跨文化交际能力和文化敏感性方面的整合情况。定量阶段采用李克特量表进行前后测试测量,结果显示,与对照组相比,使用 GeoGuessr 和 PBL 的实验组在跨文化交际能力和文化敏感性方面有显著提高。定性部分包括系统观察和半结构式访谈,突出了各组之间在教学环境、学生互动、文化交流技能、敏感性和教学策略方面的差异,并揭示了与提高文化意识、批判性思维、协作学习和学术参与相关的主题。研究结果认可了 GeoGuessr 和 PBL 在 EFL 环境中的潜在功效,丰富了 EFL 教学法,并提出了进一步研究的途径。

Enhancing Cross-Cultural Communication Skills and Cultural Sensitivity in EFL Students
This study employs a mixed-methods design to assess the integration of GeoGuessr and problem-based learning (PBL) in enhancing cross-cultural communication skills and cultural sensitivity among English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in a Chinese context. The quantitative phase, utilizing pre- and post-test measurements with Likert scales, shows significant improvements in the cross-cultural communication skills and cultural sensitivity of the experimental group engaged with GeoGuessr and PBL compared to a control group. The qualitative component, involving systematic observations and semi-structured interviews, highlights differences in instructional environments, student interaction, cultural communication skills, sensitivity, and pedagogical strategies between groups and reveals themes related to increased cultural awareness, critical thinking, collaborative learning, and academic engagement. The findings endorse the potential efficacy of GeoGuessr and PBL in EFL settings, enriching EFL pedagogy and suggesting further research pathways.
