ABSTRACT

In the context of global mobility and intercultural communication, the growing learning needs and cross-cultural communicative needs of Chinese college graduates have put forward new requirements for domestic higher education curriculum. Although many higher education institutions have made various attempts on intercultural related teaching and learning, many previous practices are still based on an essentialist perspective of theory. Based on the research setting of Sichuan University Jinjiang College, a leading applied university in China, this paper explores the path and practical forms of intercultural communication education in foreign language classrooms, and makes a critical reflection based on the non-essentialist understanding of intercultural communicative theory.
