- Abstract
Military exchanges and cooperation among countries has continuously expanded the functions and tasks of the armed forces and put forward new and higher requirements on the foreign language ability of military personnel. Intercultural communication awareness and ability have become an important component of the comprehensive quality of new military personnel. Therefore, the integration of intercultural communicative competence into military English teaching is a requirement of the military practice in the new era. Based on Byram’s model of intercultural communicative competence (ICC), this paper explores the ways to improve intercultural competence in military English teaching, including adopting comparative teaching method, improving cadets’ military English expression ability, and cultivating their fighting spirit through military English teaching. In the process of military English teaching, it is needed not only to deepen students’ understanding of military English and foreign military culture, but also to improve their intercultural communication ability and timely introduce the cultural characteristics and fine traditions of the army, so as to improve the students’ accurate expression, reflection and interpretation of their culture.
