This book seeks for an alternative perspective in analysing
cultural phenomena to supplement the norm of Western dominant
theorising and conceptualisation. It engages notions and concepts
of culture developed by Chinese cultural theorists when addressing
Chinese teachers' cross-cultural experiences in Australian school
settings. This alternative approach acknowledges the fact that the
generation and development of cultural theories is contextually
based. Through the reciprocated theory-data examination, it enables
the arguments: Chinese culture is rooted in its written language
(hanzi) which makes culture inseparable from language teaching; the
core of the culture is linked back to, streamlined with and
continues from China's elongated history; this core has been
consistently influential on these teachers' practices and the
observable cultural shift in them could be non-genuine mimicry for
survival. Document analysis witnesses the current political push
for the culture's stability and continuity through the national
education system across sectors. This book provides background
information for teachers with cultural backgrounds different from
their students', and draws on a bank of practice-based evidence to
suggest ways to enhance teacher-student relationships in
cross-cultural settings.
