This book is based upon my Ph.D. thes is
passed with excellence in the year 2014 when I was in Malaysia.The following
topics will be briefly covered in this preface: significance of the book,
research objectives of the book,
organizations of the chapters, and my gratitude to the people who helped me in
finishing the book.
Firstly, the significance of the book.It is
well known that people of different cultural backgrounds are now living in a
world that is highly interdependent and globalized.Therefore, Intercultural
Communication Competence (ICC) becomes an everyday necessity for a qualified
citizen living in this global village.And this is particularly true for our
Chinese English majors, because they are facing the challenge of pushing our
country to a newer and higher position where we Chinese people are creating and
sharing together with other nations the experiences and fruits of the new human
civilization.This book answers the call for cultivating a new generation of
young Chinese English majors to fulfill this task.
Secondly, the research objectives of the
book.Based upon the aforementioned rationale, this book sets out to investigate
the relationships between the three dimensions of Chinese English majors ICC; to examine the relationships between the
factors within the dimensions of their
ICC; to identify the factors that may
influence their ICC development so far as our English teaching is concerned;
and to measure the extent to which the factors in our English teaching could
possibly influence their ICC development.All these tasks are not easy to do and
what this author has accomplished should not be regarded as perfect ends.
Thirdly, the organizations of the
chapters.In order achieve the objectives listed above, this author arranged his
book in five chapters.Chapter One focuses on some introductory issues, such as
the
research questions, the significance of the
study, the definitions of the key terms, etc.Chapter Two of the book deals with
the most relevant literature.Both Chinese and English literature is collected,
interpreted, analyzed, and evaluated.Chapter Three introduces the methodology
employed in this book-a mixed method in which the qualitative and quantitative
methods are combined to answer the research questions.Chapter Four lists the
results and findings of the research and Chapter Five discusses the findings
and draws conclusions.
Lastly, in this preface, I should express my
deepest gratitude to the people who have ever helped me in the publication of
the book.These people are: my supervisor, Associate Professor, Dr.Salasiah Che
Lah from the University of Science of Malaysia; my dear colleagues from Hebei
University and the editors from the Intellectual Property Publishing House; and
my family, who supported me when I was in trouble.It is their selfless help
that makes me my thesis finished successfully and my book published on time.
