3. Reflections about multicultural education facing cultural shock

3.1 Culture occupy the campus

Why so many students are likely to celebrate foreign festivals？ There are so many foreign cultural elements that can arouse their interest when the foreign festivals is coming. There is no doubt that students always ignore Indigenous culture. The campus should be permeated with cultural elements. For example， so many display board show pearls of wisdom. When different Chinese festivals are coming，elements that convey deep festival meaning should be presented. And classroom or dormitory could be decorated with cultural elements.

3.2 Culture permeates the classroom

Chinese valuable culture could be inherited powerfully by teachers through class. Students believe in their teachers. So culture spread by the teachers become more and more important. For example，a teacher teaches Chinese and their students could learn so much classic poetry. When a teacher is in a mathematics lesson， he can tell students ZuChongzhi is father of math and analyse this valuable spirit that is on behalf of Chinese culture， that is， spirit of living plainly and working hard.

3.3 Educate students after class through traditional culture

Except class Chinese culture could be conveyed through the second class. There are so many cultural activities could be implemented. Students likes to take party in extracurricular activities. They could feel The charm of culture.

When facing cultural shock， there are three points that should be noticed. Firstly，education need Inclusiveness，that is， different cultures exist in a school at the same time . Secondly， take in others’ strong points that is in their culture. Thirdly，cultivate students’ sense of identity with our own culture and strong sense of social responsibility that the young people take the initiative to spread Chinese excellent culture.
