Abstract

This study explores vocabulary and literacy development among Chinese foreign speakers participating in the Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA) program, particularly within the context of Indonesian cultural education. The data sources were obtained from 46 Chinese students studying at Dalian University of Foreign Languages, Beijing Language and Culture University, Hebei University of Foreign Languages, and Hefei University of Technology. This study employed a qualitative approach to examine the experiences of both instructors and international students in China through in-depth interviews. This study aimed to (1) integrate cultural elements into language instruction to significantly enhance learners’ vocabulary acquisition and cultural literacy and (2) promote effective teaching strategies to enhance learners’ engagement and motivation. This study underscores the importance of a culturally contextualized curriculum in fostering meaningful language-learning experiences and offers practical recommendations for improving the BIPA program. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between language and culture in foreign language education.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the suitability of utterances based on He Ziran’s politeness-oriented pragmatic framework with H. P. Grice’s Cooperative Principle, using the contemporary Mandarin film Hi, Mom (2021) as the case study. The focus is on how the characters manage speech acts in everyday interactions, including both adherence to and deviations from pragmatic norms, and how such communication is interpreted by interlocutors. A qualitative pragmatic analysis was employed, examining selected dialogues that exemplify Grice’s maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner, alongside He Ziran’s principles of appropriateness and socio-cultural alignment. The findings reveal that while most dialogues conform to Grice’s Cooperative Principle, deliberate violations are employed to create humor, irony, or emotional emphasis. Meanwhile, He Ziran’s framework highlights the significance of cultural values in Chinese communication, particularly in familial hierarchy and intergenerational respect. The comparative analysis demonstrates that pragmatic principles are influenced not only by universal cooperative strategies but also by culturally embedded communicative norms. This study contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics and Mandarin as a foreign language pedagogy by deepening the understanding of effective communication strategies within contemporary Chinese cultural contexts.
