摘要

本文报道了哥伦比亚一所私立大学在外语课程中进行的一项研究。其目的是确定基于文化主题的真实材料和任务在三级英语学生跨文化能力发展中的作用。活动的教学实施是根据Cortazzi和Jin(1999)提出的标准设计的,以评估具有文化内容的材料。关于跨文化能力,Byram(2002)提出的跨文化交际能力维度是对任务规划和实施的支持。在这项定性行动研究中,使用了两项调查、一次访谈和教师现场笔记来收集数据。研究结果表明,学生能够理解跨文化性,尊重其他文化,并表现出了解其他社会的兴趣。同样,学生们报告说,他们愿意公开讨论与文化方面有关的话题。

Authentic Materials and Tasks as Mediators to Develop EFL Students’ Intercultural Competence
This article reports on a study carried out in a foreign language course at a private Colombian university. Its purpose was to identify the role of authentic materials and tasks, based on cultural topics, in the development of intercultural competence in third-level English students. The pedagogical implementation of the activities was designed under criteria proposed by Cortazzi and Jin (1999) to evaluate the material with cultural content. In regard to intercultural competence, Byram’s (2002) dimension of intercultural communicative competence was the support for planning and implementing the tasks. In this qualitative action research study, two surveys, one interview, and teacher field notes were used to collect data. Findings indicate that students were able to understand interculturality, to show respect for other cultures, and to demonstrate interest in getting to know other societies. Likewise, the students reported their willingness to be open to discussing topics related to cultural aspects.
