Reflections on Intercultural Communication during Overseas Study by Chinese Students

Abstract

This paper discusses how Chinese international students can effectively navigate cross-cultural communication during their study abroad experience. It begins by providing an overview of the definition and characteristics of cross-cultural communication, as well as the manifestations and influences of cultural differences. It then analyzes the factors that impact international students' cross-cultural communication, including their cultural backgrounds, levels of cultural awareness, and experiences in academic and everyday life. Finally, it proposes effective measures to enhance cross-cultural communication among international students, such as emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural communication education, providing cross-cultural training and guidance tailored to students' needs, and establishing channels and platforms for intercultural exchange among students.
