摘要:: 为探究留学经历对中国二语学习者跨文化交流能力的影响，对12位海外留学归国的中国英语学习者开展深度访谈。基于维果斯基的社会文化理论，将影响跨文化交流能力和影响持久性的关键因素划分为4个类别：个体对留学经历的感知与调适、社交范围与交流意愿、文化包容度和回国后使用二语机会和文化差异和逆向文化冲击。研究发现，不同特征的学生对留学经历收获有不同的感知，初始二语语言水平会影响学生的社交范围和交流主动性，逆向文化冲击也对个体产生重要影响，留学经历对中国二语学习者跨文化交流能力影响的持续性因人而异。为优化学生留学体验、提高人才培养质量，建议进行针对性的培训指导，促使留学生适应环境；提供充足的互动机会，通过语言强化和激励促进跨文化交流，采取干预措施助力其平稳度过回国“过渡期”。

Abstract:: To explore the mechanisms by which overseas study experiences influence the intercultural communication skills of Chinese returnees, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 individuals who studied abroad and for whom English is a second language. Based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, the key factors that affect cross-cultural communication ability and influence durability are divided into three categories: individual perception and response to study abroad experience, social scope and communication willingness, cultural differences and reverse culture shock. It is found that students with different characteristics have different perceptions of study abroad experience and initial second language level will affect students’ social range and communication initiative. In addition, the lasting influence of overseas study experience on Chinese students’ intercultural communication ability varies from person to person, and reverse culture shock also has an important impact on individuals. In order to optimize students’ study abroad experience and improve the quality of talent training, it is suggested to carry out targeted training guidance to help students adapt to the environment; language reinforcement and stimulation to promote cross-cultural communication and to provide ample opportunities for interaction; interventions to help them smooth the “transition” back home.
