Quiet or questioning? Students' discussion behaviors in student-centered education across cultures

“…Many studies have confirmed the widely acknowledged notion that communication styles differ across cultural contexts (e.g. Gudykunst 2005;Hu and Fan, 2011;Smith 2011). This also applies, by implication, to the way students communicate with their peers and their teachers (Hofstede 1986).…”

A Review of Domestic Empirical Studies on the Intercultural Perspective in Foreign Language Teaching

“…Looking back at the history of cross-cultural communication, we can see that the influential academic achievements are based on practical research work, and empirical research accounts for a large proportion, both quantitative research and qualitative research (Hu, 2005). Since mainstream research in international intercultural communication focuses on the communication and cognitive behavior of individuals in an intercultural or intercultural environment, most studies use quantitative methods.…”

“…In contrast, there is still a considerable gap between China's intercultural communication research and international mainstream research (Peng, 2005). Hu (2005) compared the intercultural communication papers published in Chinese academic journals during the four years from 1999 to 2002 with the papers published by the International Journal of Intercultural Relations in the United States during the same period, and found that empirical research papers dominated in American journals, and less than one percent of intercultural communication papers based on empirical research in Chinese journals. Such a low proportion may be related to the scope of the published publications and the content of the publications, but it still reflects the fact that Chinese researchers should increase their empirical research in this field.…”
