课程概述
语言学习离不开文化的学习和研究。外语专业的学生不仅要精通外国语言,还需深入理解外国文化,才能在不同文化之间搭建起沟通的桥梁。广东外语外贸大学英文学院的《当代美国社会与文化》课程是英语专业的核心必修课程,为想了解美国社会和文化的学生提供全面而深入的介绍,并旨在提升学生对文化现象的分析和研究能力。
课程共十五个单元,内容涵盖美国政治、经济、和社会的各个方面。政治方面主要着重于美国宪法、修正案、政府架构、两大政党、利益集团、司法和社会福利等话题。经济方面包括国内经济、金融、外贸和工作就业等。社会方面较为广泛,包括教育、移民、种族、家庭、媒体、娱乐、犯罪和警察等话题。每一个话题都将提供一个审视美国社会的独特视角,使学生获取对美国文化的多维度、全方位的深刻理解。
课程的独特之处在于它不停留于简单的文化介绍层面,而是注重对美国社会深层架构的探索,提升学生透过现象看本质的分析能力。课程积累了二十多年的教学经验,采用全英教学,教学团队国际化,跨文化的视角尤其适用于想了解美国社会文化的中国学习者。
