Abstract

This study aims to clarify the importance and challenge of cultivating high school students' intercultural communication ability by combing the concept of Intercultural Communicative Competence and explaining the elements of intercultural communication, such as cultural awareness, cross-cultural knowledge, communication skills, and intercultural adaptability. Based on this, this paper takes reading fragments from senior high school English textbooks published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (2019) as an example to explore teaching strategies for cultivating students' intercultural communicative competence in senior high school reading classes.
