Abstract

Based on English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022), the target requirements of Cultural Awareness from Grade 7 to Grade 9, namely “Comparison and Judgment”, “Adjustment and Communication”, “Perception and Internalization”, it is found that the intercultural communicative competence of junior high school students in China is insufficient, and the cultivation of junior high school students’ intercultural communicative competence in English teaching is also insufficient. Finally, teaching suggestions are put forward according to three specific goals: 1) finding similarities and differences to realize “Comparison and Judgment”; 2) communicating appropriately to achieve “Adjustment and Communication”; 3) investigating the reasons to attain “Perception and Internalization”.
