ABSTRACT

Intracultural learning, building knowledge of one’s native culture, is fundamental in developing learners into intercultural communicators. Integrating intracultural learning into the English curriculum could be a key to preparing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students as cross-cultural communicators to people in non-English-speaking countries. The aim of this study was to investigate how assuming the role of local cultural material developers by making promotional YouTube videos helped EFL learners prepare to become socio-cultural agents to introduce themselves and their local culture to the world. Seventy-one participants were recruited from Multimedia English. Data included the students’ concept-mapping worksheets, YouTube videos and final reflective oral presentations. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The results revealed that making YouTube videos helped EFL students to communicate aspects of their own culture, thereby enhancing their intracultural understanding and empowering them to take ownership of their learning. Practical implications and other issues were also discussed.

通过 YouTube 视频制作增强 EFL 学习者作为文化传播者的文化内发展

摘要

跨文化学习,即建立自己的本土文化知识,是将学习者培养成跨文化交流者的基础。将文化内学习融入英语课程可能是帮助英语作为外语 (EFL) 学生成为非英语国家人民的跨文化交流者的关键。本研究的目的是调查如何通过制作宣传 YouTube 视频来扮演当地文化材料开发者的角色,帮助 EFL 学习者准备成为社会文化代理人,向世界介绍自己和当地文化。从多媒体英语中招募了 71 名参与者。数据包括学生的概念图工作表、YouTube 视频和最后的反思性口头报告。主题分析用于数据分析。结果表明,制作 YouTube 视频有助于 EFL 学生交流他们自己文化的各个方面,从而增强他们对文化内的理解,并使他们能够掌控自己的学习。还讨论了实际影响和其他问题。
