CULTURE as experienced by REAL PEOPLE We asked many people with intercultural experience to share their thoughts and experiences on a variety of everyday topics.

SURVEY

What is the aim of this textbook? To bring elements of intercultural communication into second-language English classes. What is original about it? It is centered on everyday situations such as school, clubs, and family relationships. Why is that important? Because (1) linguistically, it makes it easier for students to participate in an interactive way, (2) conceptually, it is easier for students to start with the familiar before progressing to more abstract concepts of culture.

Q1 Until what age did you sleep in the same bed as your parents? (if you did)

1

I probably never slept in the same bed as my parents. I was put in a crib from a very young age. Then my parents probably put the crib and me in another room very soon after that, when I was just a few months old. In my country, privacy for parents is very important. The parents’ bed should remain a place for the couple, not for the family.

The responses to the Ibunka Survey are simply the opinions and experiences of a range of individuals. They provide hints about general cultural patterns, not debatable “truths” about cultures.

I did a year of study abroad at a university in Belgium. It was pretty tough because I had to work hard at my French to be able to keep up with the rest of the class. I often stayed up really late studying, so sometimes I would fall asleep in class. One day, one of my teachers got really upset with me and woke me up. He said “If you’re coming here to sleep, you might as well stay at home!”.

I am American and I have a fairly open attitude towards socializing at home. I enjoy inviting people over casually, for a drink or coffee, for example. For my Japanese wife, there is no such thing as a "casual" visit from a guest. For her, the house is reserved almost exclusively for visits from family.

I don’t mind meeting people at restaurants, but all my friends have come to my place and had dinner together many times. I can open up and show my true self that way. If someone had never visited my home, I would feel strange about calling that person a friend.

SURVEY

Q1 When you introduce yourself, do you focus on your uniqueness, or on how much you have in common with others? Have you noticed anything remarkable about the way people introduce themselves in the foreign culture you have lived in?

In Japan, people seem to talk about their social situation (their employer or family) rather than about their private lives. I work for an English conversation school, so every RTSYM .

When introducing myself in Japan, for example to other club members, I usually talked about my hobbies in very general terms, like “I like music” or “I like shopping”. When I went to the US to study, I found myself saying much more detailed things, such as the genres of music I like. I got the feeling that most people wanted to be seen as unique.

For me, It depends very much on my mood. When I'm in a good mood or a social mood, I try to draw attention to myself. I want to make an impression on the people I'm introducing myself to. But when I don’t feel like talking, I try to blend in. I say only very general things, so that I'm not asked any questions. In France, this strategy works pretty well. But in Japan, I have the impression that people are more interested in those who blend in. When I introduce myself by saying something very bland, they show their interest by asking questions. And if my answers are banal, they will ask even more questions! So I understand now that the strategies that helped me “fade into the background” in France have the opposite effect here in Japan. And on the contrary, when I try to attract attention by emphasizing my uniqueness, I get very few questions in return. I never realized this difference before I took this survey! 5

Q2 Do you think you are usually modest when talking about yourself, or do you rather prefer to describe yourself in a positive light? How about people in the foreign country you live(d) in?

I don't . to talk about my abilities to a Westerner I have just met, but I avoid doing it when speaking with Japanese people. I guess that’s because it can be interpreted as arrogance, and both professional and friendly relationships. Having been raised in England, I tend to downplay any strengths I might have. I think this is a cultural trait. In British culture, one cannot appear to . If I say I am not clever, or not good at something, then I can it off the table as a topic and no one can me or make fun of me. I NY NX FQRTXY QNPJ YMJ WJ[JWXJ TK &RJWNHFS TSJ ZURFSXMNU 6 7 In my work as a teacher, I have noticed that some of my Japanese students tend to themselves as “incompetent” and to choose a level that is too low for their actual abilities. One of my students, who is very bright, sometimes makes mistakes on purpose so as not to from the group. 8
