Abstract

: Intercultural communication competence is crucial to the effective interactions with foreigners from other cultural background with foreign languages. With the increasing globalization and information, intercultural communication competence becomes more and more significant. Based on the world developing tendencies and deeper educational reform, there are increasing descriptions and requirements of cultivating students’ intercultural communication competence in the newly Senior High English Curriculum Standard 2017. However, there are many hindering obstacles from both subjective and objective perspectives. Besides, although some possible strategies have been put forward, a set of complete system about cultivating students’ intercultural communicative competence has not been established. How to cultivate students’ intercultural communicative competence effectively remains a serious problem. Therefore, this paper will make a brief analysis of previous studies about cultivating intercultural communicative competence by scholars at home and abroad, pointing out its prominent problems in Chinese senior high English classes, and introduce some possibly feasible approaches for reference. During the process, the educational ideas in English Curriculum Standard 2017 will be tightly correlated with.
