Research on Strengthening Students’ Cross-Cultural Communication Ability in College English Teaching

Abstract

In China’s college English teaching, emphasis is placed on training students’ listening, reading, and writing skills, and less on students’ cross-cultural communication skills. Therefore, some students lack cross-cultural background knowledge, which causes students to misunderstand the meaning of each other’s language when they actually use English to communicate with foreigners. Therefore, this paper actively studies how to effectively cultivate students’ cross-cultural communicative competence in college English teaching, so that students can deeply understand the differences in cultural terms between their own country and other countries in their learning, and effectively improve students’ actual oral communication skills.
