A Research on the Contradiction Between English Theory Teaching and Students' English Practice Level-Taking Students' Intercultural Communication Skills as an Example

As economic and cultural exchanges between countries around the world become more and more frequent, mastering cross-cultural communication skills becomes more and more important. The cultivation of students' intercultural communicative competence has received wide attention in Chinese education. Although there is more and more domestic research on the cultivation of students' intercultural communicative competence, the teaching practice of intercultural communicative competence is still insufficient due to the influence of practical factors. This paper analyzes the dilemmas encountered in the teaching of cultivating students' intercultural communicative competence. Through the analysis, it is concluded that the obstacles encountered in the practice of cultivating intercultural communicative competence are mainly affected by the teaching concept, teaching methods, the lack of an atmosphere for English learning, and the single teaching material. Based on this, the paper puts forward the suggestions of updating educational concepts, teachers integrating multiple teaching methods, and teachers interspersing different cultures through vocabulary teaching.
