- Abstract
With the advancement of science and technology and rapid development of globalization, cross-cultural communication activities have become more frequent, and developing cross-cultural communicative talents has become one of the important objectives of university education. Our university English syllabus has emphasized the need to train students’ cross-cultural communicative competence. However, the real situation is that it has long been a delay in the passage of the traditional teaching model centered on the language knowledge in college English teaching. Teachers have been focusing on students' language skills, but did not pay sufficient attention to cultural teaching and learning, seriously affecting the cultivation of students’ cross-cultural communicative ability. Now, in teaching practice, we find that many students do not know how to communicate in English, let alone cross-cultural communication. This paper, from the perspective of intercultural communication, combined with the practice of college English teaching, identifies and analyzes problems about cross-cultural communication awareness training in the process of college English teaching, and further explores the corresponding solutions in order to call attentions to college English cross-cultural teaching and research.
