Abstract
This chapter aims to investigate undergraduate students' participation in internationalization activities at a Chinese regional university and the influences of internationalization on students' intercultural competence. The study is based on qualitative methods and reports on interviews with 10 participants from different disciplines and grades at the Chinese regional university. The findings indicate that levels of internationalization at the regional university varied between disciplines and among categories of activities and that interactions with foreign teachers and students were regarded as the most effective and direct way to improve intercultural competence. In addition, cross-border online exchange activities were also found to develop intercultural competence. Based on these findings, the design and implementation of more cross-border online exchange activities are recommended within the context of the pandemic.
