Misinterpretations of intercultural communication among chinese foreign language educators

Abstract

When a large number of foreign language teachers are actively involved in intercultural communication study, more and more scholars have shown great concern about the "aphasia" of the Chinese native culture in foreign language teaching and learning. The paper makes an analysis on some existing misinterpretations of intercultural communication, and argues that, to a certain extent, the misinterpretations are a big factor for the "Aphasia" of the Chinese culture in foreign language education. Some suggestions are thus put forward to approach such a problem. © 2014 Academy Publisher Manufactured In Finland.
