The findings revealed that the differences between Australian and Chinese university students tend to lie more in their language proficiency levels than in cultural factors. This study also compares learners' strategy use and its relationship to LA in two different educational systems. It is evident that the difference in teaching methods, learning tasks and achievement assessments would have an impact upon learners' strategy use and its relationship to LA.展开更多

Culture elements, when embodied in a properly developed and organized curriculum can be systematically implemented all along the different phases of language growth. Mastery of a language is not simply mastery of vocabulary as well as grammar and spelling rules. The most successful language learners learn both culture and language together. The conceptualizations provided by research, although at times conflicting, form a useful foundation for language teaching that provides a deeper and a more enriching human experience. Making culture the core in a language class is akin to asserting the obvious (Furstenberg, 2010);they are two flip sides of the same coin. With its focus on revisiting the role of culture in the FL Classroom, the paper seems to fall into the same category - affirming the tried and true, but like Furstenberg, the author believes there is good reason to re-consider the possibility of closing the language and culture gap.展开更多

An epic-like autobiographical novel-verse in its form, Aurora Leigh concentrates on a thirty-year-process of a talented poetess, Aurora, who is destined to write with dedication and commitment, for art, and for truth. With the approaches of New Criticism and Cultural Poetics study, this thesis will focus on the identity of Aurora Leigh as a poetess, who is neither a revolutionary feminist writer, nor an suffocating"angel in the house". As a pious daughter of God and a sympathetic descendant of Virgin Mary, Aurora performs an intelligent role in reconciling masculine power with feminine tenderness. Meanwhile, as a prophet preacher, Aurora embraces an epiphany through years of seeking and wandering and eventually constructs her own city of poetry in which an interwoven pattern of time and space conveys her ambition of being a female Homer.展开更多

This paper aims to analyze the differences between political economy and cultural studies, two primary but sometimes competing ways of examining media and communication, following a detailed description of their theoretical trajectory. Also, this paper suggests building a bridge connecting the two disciplines, the integration of which is essential to an adequate account of gender, race and social movement studies in addition to class analysis.展开更多

It then provides an overview of German-language research methods and discourses on popular music. In addition to the traditional reflections from musicology and music education, nine perspectives will be described, primarily from the media, communications, culture and social sciences. These nine contemporary perspectives are distributed along lines of thematic focus, moving beyond disciplines or fields per se. This paper will close with a list of suggestions for popular music research and education in the German cultural sphere, insisting above all on a clear connection/link, in the sense of a mixing/incorporation/integration, with （current） international discourses. Finally, the paper synthesizes German research, not only to systematize it but also to illustrate its diversity and multiperspectivity.展开更多
