An Analysis of Strategies for Improving Intercultural Communicative Competence in English Teaching in Secondary Vocational Schools

Abstract

English in secondary vocational schools emphasizes the cultivation of students’ core qualities such as language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality and learning ability. The development of cross-cultural communication skills not only provides students with more opportunities for personal development, but also helps them establish a sense of community with a shared future for mankind and a sense of multiculturalism, form an open and inclusive attitude, deepen their understanding of the culture of the motherland, enhance their patriotism, and strengthen their cultural confidence. Therefore, teachers should actively explore the countermeasures of cultivating students’ intercultural communication ability in vocational English teaching.
