30多年前,加拿大作家Marshall Mcluhan首次提出了地球村这个概念来说明世界变得越来越小了,人们之间的距离越来越近了;这个地球村里的居民都想与邻为善,和睦相处,但他们面临很多挑战。挑战之一是作为英语教学一个组成部分的跨文化理解问题。但是我们是否完全了解其中的细节?是否所有的英语教师能意识到跨文化理解(CUU)教学的重要性? More than 30 years ago, the Canadian writer Marshall Mcluhan first proposed the concept of a global village to show that the world is getting smaller and smaller, and the distance between people is getting closer and closer; the residents of this global village want to live in harmony with their neighbors and live in harmony. However, they face many challenges. One of the challenges is the issue of cross-cultural understanding as an integral part of English teaching. But do we fully understand the details? Are all English teachers aware of the importance of cross-cultural understanding (CUU) teaching?
