Abstract

China have taken priority to education in ethnic areas, while volunteer teaching by students at colleges plays a necessary role in it. This study shows and explains the socio-emotional capacities of college students in cross-cultural volunteering teaching. Also, it focuses on the influences of emotional labor and acculturation. By qualitative examination, the whole research is under the acculturation background, based on in-depth interviews and case studies in Tongliao City and Hinggan League, and reveals noticeable features of college student volunteers in emotional labor, such as role multiplicity and cultural dependency. What’s more, the study probes into obvious periodic challenges during acculturation. It is further pointed out that interactions between emotional labor and acculturation are a pivotal way to build socio-emotional capabilities. Among them, the construction of a sense of meaning, improvement of communication abilities, and maintenance of emotional extroversion and stability are typically important. To enhance the effect of volunteer teaching and improve college students’ competence in volunteer teaching, it is urgent and necessary to foster the socio-emotional capacities of college student volunteers.
