Abstract

This paper provides an overview and discussion on the current situation of intercultural communication training and challenges for tertiary English in China. A qualitative meta-analysis was conducted on research articles written both in Chinese language and English during the last two decades (from 2002) to explore reported challenges faced by teachers. Mitigating strategies undertaken were also scrutinized via documents analysis of the assorted papers. The findings showed that instructional efforts to develop intercultural communication competence in tertiary students was previously quite stagnant in its approaches, riddled with various micro and macro level challenges and quite unsuccessful in yielding the desired results. Only within the last decade with the advent of ICT and multimedia technology that concerted efforts could be integrated into producing considerable results. This study puts forth relevant improvement strategies derived from various aspects analyzed. They came in the form of inevitable measures like upgrading the teaching system, improving the quality of teachers, changing the teaching strategies, developing resource hub, developing professional teams and groupings, and optimizing intercultural communication evaluation mechanism. The findings from this study has high transferability and  insights for institutions in countries with similar contexts. It also provides beneficial theoretical reference for the training of intercultural communication competence in a foreign language learning context.

Abstract

The objective of the study is to measure the university student; acceptance of the Content based instruction (CBI) approach for The Integrity and Anti-Corruption (IAC) and their understanding on corruption and integrity issues in Malaysia as a whole. This is important as the battle  against corruption must be carried out via all means. Thus the CBI approach enables lecturers to emphasize IAC within their existing languages and humanities courses. Data was elicited via survey questionnaires and selective interviews  on 90 students who enrolled in the various  courses for February semester. The findings show that majority of the respondents were very receptive to the integration of IAC topics via CBI in the languages and humanities courses and they  have good understanding on the main aspects of integrity and  corruption. However some of the students  perception on a few micro practices relating to corruption shows somewhat worrying results. Suggestions are put forth to improve the content integration in the courses so that the learning outcomes will be better achieved as  the understanding of IAC  reach a better level.
