Chinese Senior High School Students' Stereotypical Perceptions of Western Culture in EFL Speaking Tasks

Yuhang Pan

Abstract


This study investigates stereotypical perceptions of Western culture among Chinese senior high school students in EFL speaking
tasks. Through classroom audio and video recordings, four stereotype categories are identified, with digital media emerging as the primary
formation channel. Findings suggest that stereotypes function as discursive strategies under oral production pressure, carrying implications for
intercultural communicative competence development in Chinese EFL pedagogy.
