Intercultural Competence and Reading
Abstract
In senior high school English reading classes, cultivating intercultural communication skills can help students learn language more efficiently. It is necessary to strengthen the intercultural communication ability training of students in English reading teaching to meet the current high school English training objectives. The majority of senior high school students now have a basic understanding of English. They still lack knowledge of British culture and the ability to communicate in English. This essay will show the critical thinking about intercultural competence and reading.References
