Research on Strategies for Cultivating Cross-Cultural Communication Competence in Junior High School English Listening and Speaking Teaching
Abstract
In the evolving conceptual parameters of globalization, language learning closely integrates with culture, and the junior high English curriculum highlights cross-cultural communication competence (CCC). Current teaching shows inadequate emphasis, outdated concepts, and weak evaluation systems. Given the complexity of these theoretical relationships, this research employs literature review and case study methods, discusses problems in English listening and speaking instruction, and proposes strategies for improvement. These represent conceptual innovation and teacher development, refined objectives and assessment mechanisms, and optimized multimodal teaching methods and resources. These case studies appear to provide evidence that may support their feasibility. What appears particularly significant about the findings is the potential for real-world application. This study tries to point toward practical guidance for cultivating students’ CCC What emerges from these considerations is an offering of both largely theoretical and applied value for enhancing the quality of junior high English listening and speaking education.
