Education also needs to be in line with international standards, contact with education resources in other places, and generate communication and collision between different cultures.

Based on the actual situation of teachers in higher vocational colleges, the effective strategies of cultivating their intercultural awareness are put forward, so as to offer suggestions for improving the overall level of intercultural communication ability of English teachers in higher vocational colleges.
