The deepening of internationalization has promoted intercultural communication. Countries around the world have established education policies on intercultural communication, highlighting the importance of intercultural communicative competence. The paper offers a preliminary study of how to foster learners’ intercultural communicative competence in writing. It first elaborates intercultural communicative competence and the factors that cause intercultural communication failures, and then proposes a variety of writing strategies to develop learners’ intercultural communicative competence. Suggestions on how to improve English teachers’ intercultural communicative competence are also provided.
