Intercultural communicative competence has been widely accepted as the aim of EFL teaching. In order to obtain this competence, Culture teaching must be implemented in the college English teaching. Textbooks have played a very important role in the course of teaching and learning. Textbooks introduce students the cultures of different countries and regions, thus making it convenient for students to exert a relatively remarkable influence on the fostering of students' cultural awareness and competence of intercultural communication. This paper focuses on the content analysis of the cultural content in College English (New) (henceforth, CE (New)).

This paper identifies two new tools, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) and Derrida's deconstruction method, to identify cognitive differences between Australian, Thai, and Japanese managers. The KTS identifies one's temperament pattern, which describes ways in which human personalities interact with the environment to satisfy needs. Temperament theory has been extended to leadership/management theory to show that inborn temperament tendencies are differently distributed by cultural groups and these tendencies affect approaches to negotiations. Derrida's deconstruction method offers a new approach to identifying a culture's true diversity by recommending an analysis of the 'difference-to-oneself' within a culture before comparing 'difference-between' cultures. Results identified signi...

Cette étude évalue un modèle multidomaine et bidimensionnel de l'acculturation chez les canadiens d'origine chinoise. En tout, 234 étudiants universitaires ont répondu à un questionnaire évaluant les domaines internes et externes des dimensions chinoises et canadiennes de l'acculturation. Les résultats des analyses factorielles ont démontré que la dimension chinoise de l'acculturation englobait les domaines internes et externes comme prévu, mais que la dimension canadienne n'englobait qu'un seul domaine. Un troisième facteur a émergé de l'analyse qui reflète l'évaluation des individus de leur groupe culturel comme distinct de leur identification avec ce groupe. Les différents domaines d'acculturation varient selon l'étendue du contact des participants avec les cultures chinoises et cana...

This study investigates tattoo removal as a means of identity negotiation using Brewer's (1991) optimal distinctiveness theory as the conceptual foundation. Twenty-two informants who ranged in age from 19 to 43 participated in in-depth interviews telling their stories of tattoo acquisition and removal. Findings unpack the relationship between consumption, disposition, and the different aspects of the self-concept. Informants who felt overly individuated (or assimilated) in a frequently activated social identity group because of tattoo acquisition, compensated for this conflict by enhancing feelings of affiliation (or differentiation) in another frequently activated social identity via tattoo removal. This study extends previous research on the role of consumption in shaping the maintena...
