ABSTRACT

This paper takes 360 college students from a foreign language college in a national university as the research object. Through cross-cultural understanding, cross-cultural attitude and cross-cultural communication, the current situation and influencing factors of minority college students’ cross-cultural ability training are investigated. First, minority college students have positive cross-cultural attitudes, however, due to the lack of media literacy and cross-cultural understanding education, there are certain conflicts and preconceived notions about the cognition of different cultures. Secondly, minority college students’ self-confidence in language communicative competence actively promotes the formation of cross-cultural self-confidence. Thirdly, the current focus of foreign language teaching is still on the cultivation of language communicative competence. Students are confused about language communicative competence and inter-cultural competence. Moreover, due to the inconsistency of cross-cultural courses, minority college students’ ability to understand their own cross-cultural knowledge only involves the accumulation of superficial cultural knowledge. Therefore, minority colleges and universities should give full play to their multi-cultural background, improve teachers’ cross-cultural literacy, set up a systematic cross-cultural curriculum, support rich cross-cultural practice, and construct a multi-cultural and national characteristic cross-cultural education.
