EFL Learners Setting Foot on American Land for the First Time

Abstract:
The purpose for conducting this study is to attempt to realize how EFL learners, who went to the U.S. for the first time to tutor American students in Chinese, gained cross-cultural awareness. In addition, it is to examine to what extent they improved their English competency after immersing themselves in the target culture physically. Three college female students who majored in English joined the over-seas Chinese teaching program. They went to the U.S. with their teacher and stayed there for a month. Their main task was to teach American students Chinese. In the study, it was found that those EFL learners not only experienced varieties of cultural knowledge and improved their English compe-tency, they also reflected the learning attitudes performed by American students on their own in Tai-wan. However, they also encountered certain conflicts because of their language deficiency or per-sonal cultural bias. Today, it is the technology age. The distance between people from different cultural backgrounds be-comes short. In order to help EFL learners gain appropriate foreign language competency and target culture knowledge, based on the problems that occurred in this study, language teachers can increase more cross-cultural issues in their English classes. Also, it will be worthwhile to conduct further re-search on understanding how far EFL learners may improve their English after returning to Taiwan. Hopefully, the EFL learners may become aware of the linguistic and cultural knowledge on their way of English learning.
