16、be taken into account for successful interactions.”可知,在商务活动、谈判、人际交往中,与来自不同文化的人打交道时,这些想法对成功的交际起着非常重要的作用。script: Classifications of CulturesGood morning, everyone! Today, well look at culture or rather classifications of cultures. Usually, when we deal with different people, we deal with them as if we
17、 were all members of the same culture. However, its possible that people from different cultures have different assumptions about the world. We got in such important and basic ideas as time, personal space. And this is the view of Edward Hall. And Edward Hall is an anthropologist who spent a large p
18、art of his life studying American Indians, their culture, their language. But he was different from a lot of other anthropologists who just study one culture. He was interested in the relations between cultures, how cultures interact. What Hall believes is that cultures can be classified by placing
19、them on a continuum, ranging from what he called high-context to low-context. OK, what is a high-context culture? A high-context culture is a culture in which the context of the message, or the action, or an event carries a large part of its meaning and significance. What this means is that in a hig
20、h-context culture, more attention is paid to whats happening in and around the message than to the message itself. Now, let me give you examples. First, in terms of personal space. Generally speaking, in a high-context culture, because this greater dependency on group thinking, people lean towards h
21、eavier sense of involvement or closeness to people. And they have less respect for privacy, for personal space. If you go into that culture, people might stand closer when theyre talking to you. They might touch more. And if theyre jostled in a crowd, they wont feel violated. And also people from a
22、high-context culture pay attention to body language. Because remember what I said, the definition of a high-context culture is that more attention is paid to the context of the message than to the message itself. And part of the context is body language. Second, in terms of time. People in high-cont
23、ext cultures, are considered to have, what is called a poly-chronic attitude toward time. Here, “poly“ means multiple and “chronic“ means time. What this means is that they believe people, things, events have their own time. And there cant be a standard system of time for everything. What this leads
24、 them to believe is that you cant emphasize punctuality. Things happen when they are supposed to happen. So, theres a different attitude toward time; theres no set standard of time; you cant control time; everything has its own sense of time. So its a culture that pays little attention to time, to c
25、lock time. Now, lets move on to low-context culture. A low-context culture is just the opposite. A low-context culture is one in which the message, the event or the action is a separate entity, having meaning onto itself, regardless of the surroundings or the context. That the message, the event, th
26、e action has meaning in itself. So what this means in a low-context culture, is that people pay more attention to the event itself rather than to the context which surrounds the event or the message. For example, in terms of personal space again, theres more emphasis on individuality. So the concept
27、 of privacy is very, very important. Whereas before, as I said, in a high-context culture, they might not even be concerned with privacy or personal space. But in a low-context culture, theres a feeling that we each have our own personal space. If you get too close, if you dont knock on doors before
28、 entering, thats an invasion of privacy. People feel violated. Theres a respect and a desire for privacy. And youll also see that people might pay less attention to body language, because as I said, the message is, the message is everything. They are not going to worry about all the details around i
29、t. What you say is the important thing, or what you do is the important thing. Another example of a low-context culture is peoples attitude towards time. In terms of time, I said before, there was a poly-chronic sense of time in a high-context culture. What do you think there would be in a low-conte
30、xt culture? Mono-chronic? Right! A mono-chronic sense of time and by that we mean that theres one time. And that concept means that people in a low-context culture believe that theres one standard of time. And that should be for everything. And so I am not willing to hear “Oh, the traffic was heavy.
31、 Thats why Im late“ or “Oh, I slept late“. People in a low-context culture would be much more upset with lateness, because they feel that everyone should follow the same time. There shouldnt be all this flexibility with time and they expect punctuality. And they look at time as almost a commodity th
32、at they use expressions like “use time, to waste time, to spend time or time is money“. All of these expressions reinforce the concept that time is actually something you can hold on to.So, what this is all about is that, Hall stresses that people need to be aware of these different assumptions or c
33、oncepts about reality. And he thinks that this has all kinds of relevance no matter what youre doing. If youre in business, negotiations, interpersonal relations, if youre dealing with people from different cultures in any way, its going to affect every part of your life. In any multi-cultural situa
34、tion, these assumptions need to be taken into account for successful interactions. OK, today weve taken a brief look at Edward Halls view of culture, mainly his classification of high- or low-context culture with some examples. Next week, well look at some more examples of cultures on a continuum be

41、cal conceptualization of second language learning.D. Pedagogical implementation of second language teaching.参考答案: BTIP:答案选 B。其他三项在对话中均有提及, D 项没有提及。script: Woman: Good morning, Dr. Harley! Thank you very much for coming on our radio talk. We know that youre an applied linguist specializing in second
42、language acquisition.Dr. Harley: Right!Woman: So, today, um, well look at this issue. Now, first, Dr. Harley, could you please tell us what is second language acquisition? Dr. Harley: Well, second language acquisition is . happens when a child or adult has already become competent at a language. And
43、 then, um, they attempt to learn another.Woman: OK, most people think, including me, it is difficult to learn another language. What are the reasons? Why is it so?Dr. Harley: Well, there are a number of reasons for this. Huh, first, there have been research studies. They have shown that some aspects
44、 of language learning especially syntax are more difficult beyond a certain age, say, after around 12 years of age.Woman: So, age plays an important role in language learning?Dr. Harley: Yes. But thats not the only reason.Woman: Oh, is that so?Dr. Harley: Yes, for example, huh, time and interest. Al
45、l children and adults often have less time and motivation to learn a second language.Woman: Mm Dr. Harley: Another is related to the similarities and differences between ones mother tongue and a second language. We find the learners will experience difficulty when their mother tongue and the second
46、language theyre learning differ. In general, the more idiosyncratic a feature is in a particular language relative to other languages, the more difficult it will be to acquire.Woman: Perhaps this is the key issue. Differences between languages cause language learning problems. Dr. Harley: Well, this
47、 may be one of the issues here. But this cannot be the whole story, as not all differences between languages cause difficulty. Let me give you an example.Woman: OK.Dr. Harley: Research has found that many errors by Czech speakers learning English were made on syntactic constructions in which the two
48、 languages do not differ.Woman: Oh, really? The picture is more complicated than weve imagined. Dr. Harley: Definitely yes. Each language learning situation is different. So reasons vary a lot from case to case.Woman: Now, Dr. Harley, since learning a second language is a difficult process, you know
49、, in one way or another, are there any methods so far, effective methods to teach a second language? Dr. Harley: There again, no method is absolutely effective in all situations. Some may prove effective, others may not. I mean all depending on specific conditions. But generally speaking, there are a number of methods that have been used to teach a second language.Woman: Could you mention a few? Dr. Harley:
