Cultivation of Cross-cultural Awareness and Cross-cultural Ability in the New Era

Abstract

As we all know, various factors are hindering people's effective cross-cultural communication. An understanding of the self, socio-cultural roots, inherent concepts and prejudices, as well as the local and global dimensions of culture, helps to be faithful to the practice of communication, but they may also be shackles that fetter people's effective communication. Personal appreciation orientation and empathy are the main factors of personal cross-cultural management ability. On this basis, the construction of cross-cultural competence needs to go through a gradual process from recognition to transcendence. The skills needed to adapt to a new culture will eventually be developed in this process. As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, China is facing huge challenges and opportunities. Intercultural communication is increasingly frequent, and the role of intercultural communication ability is prominent. In order to make young people in the new era aware of the positive impact of cultural values and enjoy the joy of multiculturalism, it is necessary to create a cross-cultural "third space" in foreign language teaching in the new era, and achieve the goal of cultivating cross-cultural communicative competence by building a cross-cultural foreign language teaching system.
