【摘要】 近年来,越来越多的中国学生选择到英国留学。中国留学生现已成为英国人数最多的海外留学生。然而,目前英国研究中国留学生的学习和生活经历的学术研究还为数不多。因此,本篇论文将着力研究中国学生的思想状况,探寻他们在留学英国期间,尤其是初期所遇到的各种问题。本论文将阐述文化,文化差异,二语习得等理论,并以此作为文章的理论框架,运用种族志的研究方法开展调查。六名现在英国留学的中国留学生参加了这个研究。获取研究内容数据的方法包括深度采访,查看受访者日记及观察等等。研究结果显示,大部分的中国留学生在留英期间,都经历过不同程度的文化差异,并且伴有被孤立排斥,失望,焦虑等情绪。除此之外,本论文还研究了中国学生学习英文的困难,并指出中西文化价值观的差异是造成这些困难的首要原因。最后,文章还对中国留学生以及英国的学术机构提出建议,希望能够达到减轻文化差异所带来的负面影响以及培养文化意识的目的。更多还原

【Abstract】 Recent years Britain has witnessed a steady growth in the number of Chinese overseas students. Chinese students have now become the largest overseas student group in the UK. However, there have been a scarce number of studies in the UK devoted to exploring the learning and living experience of Chinese overseas students. Setting within the above context, this paper aims at exploring the perceptions of Chinese students and probing the major problems they have encountered during their early days in Britain. The paper employs concept of culture, culture shock, second languages acquisition theories .etc as the theoretical building stones to carry out the ethnographic research. Six current Chinese overseas students participate in the study. Ethnographic data were obtained from in-depth interviews, their personal diaries and observation. The findings of the research reveal that the majority Chinese overseas students have experienced different degrees of culture shock, accompanying by the feelings of isolation, disappointment and anxiety during their stay in the UK. Students’ difficulties in English learning are also explored. What is more, it is also pointed out that the gap in Chinese and Western culture value is the prime reason for the difficulties experienced by the Chinese overseas students. Finally, suggestions were offered to both Chinese overseas students and people in host countries to mitigate the adverse effect of culture shock and foster cultural awareness.更多还原
