摘要 本文讨论了作为在线阿拉伯语言课程一部分开发的视频故事情节的协商过程。该项目以通过教育实现社会正义议程为指导，明确旨在解决加沙地带语言毕业生的高失业率问题。我们阐述了课程设计的国际团队在课程材料的制作过程中，如何逐渐从谈论跨文化交际转向做跨文化交际。我们还从苏格兰和加沙地带团队的不同角度探讨了语言课程故事的含义。
ABSTRACT This article discusses the process of negotiating the storyline for videos developed as part of an online Arabic language course. The project was guided by a social-justice-through-education agenda, explicitly aiming to redress the high unemployment rate of language graduates in the Gaza Strip. We illustrate how the international team designing the course gradually moved from talking about intercultural communication to doing intercultural communication during the process of creating the course materials. We also explore the meanings that the stories of the language course carry from the distinct perspectives of the teams based in Scotland and in the Gaza Strip.
