Alas, cross-cultural communication is very "research". There are so many undergraduate or graduate students concerned about this topic, whether for their own development or graduation. Yes, learning a language is learning a culture. As long as you learn English, you are engaged in cross-cultural communication. The problem is that when you engage in cross-cultural communication, you are not necessarily engaged in cross-cultural research. Oh, I know it's no use saying this. Therefore, in the spirit of serving English learners to the end, I intend to write some guides for friends who have this need but are at a loss according to my own experience, so as to live up to their trust in me. The first related question today is how to write this paper. [1] Experience "paper": For example, if you are a teacher and the school has a teaching experience exchange meeting, you can write it in Chinese. Put on your hat first, and then cross-cultural communication is so important to teaching. You should start from several specific aspects, reflect the idea of intercultural communication teaching in teaching, whether the effect is good or not, and what kind of results have been achieved. Finally, you can express your feelings and imagination. In fact, such a paper is not called a paper, but a sentiment or work summary. Unfortunately, many people also put this feeling out in public. In other words, this first kind of "paper" is rubbish. As soon as such a paper comes out, knowledgeable people will know that you don't know what scientific research is and what a paper is. If you want to avoid writing a paper of this level, you should first enrich your relevant theoretical knowledge, know what research has been done in this field at home and abroad, to what extent, what research is not enough for you to study, and so on. Otherwise, you can only use pale words such as "I think" and "my experience description" to cover up your shame, or spell it with eight honors and eight disgraces. I don't know if I made myself clear. [2] Undergraduate thesis: This is the aspect that netizens ask me for help the most, so I will talk about it. First of all, a sigh: what papers can undergraduates write? Oh, it's not that I look down on undergraduates. I'm just talking about things. I remember that three years ago, I asked some overseas Chinese friends about thesis writing in an English chat room. The first sentence they gave me was the same: "What papers can graduate students write?" As I am not a doctor, I can only have the cheek to give you advice from the height of my master's degree. Ok, now do two-way thinking: undergraduates can't write any papers. The reason is that I have been learning English for four years, and no one has told me how to do scientific research and how to write papers. I have, but I have no time to do it. Either CET-4, TEM-8, certificate of interpretation and translation, study abroad, postgraduate entrance examination, etc. After all this, I have to find a job or something. There are good reasons. Bad writing will be abnormal. Think about it from another angle: why do undergraduates set up graduation thesis? Simple, you already have the basic ability to use English, and your next development is bound to develop in a professional direction. Graduation thesis is a preparation for your career development. Let you know the basic process of professional work first. Well, from this analysis, I guess you will understand that the expectations of the school for your thesis are not high or not high. As for how to write, I have to continue to read, haha. [3] Thesis title: After graduation, no matter what occupation you are engaged in, as long as you want to evaluate your professional title, you must publish a paper, whether it is a provincial paper or a national paper. According to the theory of teacher series, the requirements of assistant lecturer-lecturer-associate professor-professor are also different. However, this kind of paper is best written. The national level requires real skills in scientific research and thesis writing, which goes without saying here. If you could write this kind of paper, you wouldn't be reading my article here. Besides, the provincial newspaper is also easy to write. This kind of papers can be roughly divided into three categories: (1) scientific research (I want to talk about orientation), and the real papers are those who engage in cutting-edge research with real scientific research data; (2) Piracy, stealing other people's scientific research results for their own use (some directly change the author's name with articles, some take one-third from each of the three papers on the same topic, and some have to work hard to translate foreign languages into Chinese and mark them as their own original). Most of these papers can't hide from professors or experts, but they can easily hide from some editors of the school newspaper, far from hiding. After all, you wrote more than just possible. (3) self-study, I don't know much about scientific research, but I have taught myself something about writing papers, and I can also do some research or compile some research. Writing according to the format of the paper has no academic value, but at least I wrote it behind closed doors, which is worthy of my conscience. Therefore, if you understand the writing idea and weigh your own strength, you will know how to write this kind of paper. Personally, I think the most difficult thing to write this kind of paper is not the content itself, but its strict word count requirements and the self-contained format requirements of each journal. I have a deep-rooted subjective criterion for judging the quality of such papers, that is, you pay to publish high-quality papers, and you pay to publish good, fair and inferior papers. I know this standard is incorrect, but I insist. From this point of view, the papers I have published so far are not high-quality papers, but there are high-quality translations, so I think writing a paper is better than doing translation, which is good for my personal development. [4] Postgraduate thesis: The difference between graduate thesis and undergraduate thesis lies in its standardization and professionalism, and it takes at least one year to complete it seriously. But different from the title of scientific research paper, it lacks real scientific research support. Graduate students are like a scholar, and what they do is mostly an armchair strategist. Of course, it is another matter to have graduate students who have been instructed by famous teachers, but unfortunately, the proportion of graduate students and tutors is unbalanced now, and it is a bit unrealistic to get careful guidance. The more practical method is to write a second-hand paper. As for what is second-hand paper, I will talk about it in detail later. [5] Doctoral thesis: I haven't written it, so I have no comment. Did you find your position? I like writing thesis topics, which are scientific research in my classification, so I will introduce the writing methods of cross-cultural communication papers according to this standard in subsequent articles. You can use this formal writing method as a reference point and then achieve your goals.
