Therefore, vocabulary teaching seems a helpful way to cultivate the intercultural communication competence of junior high school students.

It is based on the discussion about the meaning differences between English vocabulary and Chinese vocabulary and their reasons. And it reveals two strategies, etymology method and English-Chinese comparison method, aiming to cultivate intercultural communication competence of Junior High School in the teaching of English vocabulary.
