For anthropologists, culture is the umbrella which covers all the patterns of our
social activities and has a serious influence on our behaviour, communication,
relationships and other social aspects. Therefore, there are various studies of different
cultures which investigate the influence of core cultural values and beliefs on social
attitudes. In spite of the fact that there are many studies about the Chinese culture, just
a few studies consider the influence of culture on the communication behaviour of
Chinese learners of English.
