A comparative study of two cross-cultural integration modes of home stay and language partner communication
家庭住宿与语伴交流两种跨文化融入模式的对比研究

摘要

随着国际化需求与程度日益加深，不同文化背景的交流也逐渐增多。留学生在语言文化适应与融入的过程中，跨越文化的差异与转换成为其在异国学习与生活的关键问题。当下非常流行的家庭住宿（Homestay）是受留学生欢迎的一种选择，这种住宿方式在国外留学生的留学经历中较为普遍。Homestay以一种家庭化的方式呈现在海外游子面前，给留学生宾至如归的感受和温馨体验，这也正是其备受青睐的重要原因。较之国外，国内的留学生采取该住宿方式的较少，多采用语伴模式，既是一种教学策略又成为留学生必不可少的跨文化交流体验，也是留学生文化适应的重要途径。本文将对Homestay与语伴交流两种文化融入模式进行对比研究，探寻如何构建具有中国特色的助学模式。

Abstract

With the deepening of the demand and degree of internationalization, the exchanges of different cultural backgrounds have gradually increased. In the process of language and cultural adaptation and assimilation of foreign students, cross-cultural differences and transformation have become the key issues for them to study and live in foreign countries. The very popular homestay is a popular choice for international students, and this type of accommodation is more common in the study experience of foreign students. Homestay is presented to overseas tourists in a family-oriented way, giving international students a home away from home and a warm experience, which is also an important reason for their popularity. Compared with foreign countries, domestic international students use this accommodation mode less, and mostly use the language partner mode. It is not only a teaching strategy, but also an indispensable cross-cultural communication experience for international students. This paper will conduct a comparative study on the two cultural integration modes of Homestay and language partner communication, and explore how to construct a student aid model with Chinese characteristics.
