ABSTRACT

With the realization of globalization and the implementation of One Belt and One Road, the opportunities for intercultural exchanges are increasing dramatically. However, in this process, the phenomenon of Chinese culture aphasia has emerged. This paper intends to explore the theoretical possibility of implanting Chinese culture into College English teaching from the perspective of the “third culture” in intercultural communication. Based on questionnaire and interview, this paper tries to analyze the present situation of non-English majors’ ability to express Chinese culture in English and probe into counter-measures from different aspects, such as teachers, teaching materials, curriculum, and testing so as to develop non-English majors’ intercultural communicative competence.
