From the perspective of second language education, this book studies cross-cultural communication and systematically explores how second language teachers and students study and use the cross-cultural communication theory. This book is composed of seven chapters, respectively discussing the following aspects: the orientation of cultural factors in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL), the nature and purposes of second language education, the differences and comparisons of cultures, the eradication of the Euro-American centered theory in cross-cultural communication studies.
Proceeding from the purposes and needs of cross-cultural communication and second language education, this book integrates theory into practice and puts forward the effective ways to improve teachers and students’ consciousness and ability in cross-cultural communication. Besides these, it theoretically shows the defects in cross-cultural communication studies in China’s second language education, advocates further investigation on cultural diversity based on the study of Western theories, recognizes the universality and limitations of Western theories, and explores the diversity of cross-cultural communication theory.
