As one of the most widely used languages in the world, English is a must in the process of internationalization of China。 At present, our country mainly depends on the talent of higher education, but most college students' English level still stays in a certain level which is not high。 So it is of great significance to strengthen the cultivation of college students’ listening and speaking ability in the context of intercultural communication。

Intercultural communication was first proposed in 《The Silent Language》，published by American cultural anthropologist Edward T。 Hall, which marks the birth of intercultural communication。 Intercultural communication refers to communication between inpiduals from two or more different cultures。 Foreign intercultural communication research is from the 1950s。 Today, with the joint efforts of Chinese and foreign scholars, the theoretical basis of intercultural communication is becoming more and more solid。

 In 1880, the French educator Gouin discussed the importance of culture in his book 《The Art of Teaching and Studying Language》。 In this book, writer tried to deliver such message as: cultural teaching can be put into effect in conventional curriculum through appropriate teaching method。 This was the first academic work which expounded the importance of cultural teaching in western countries。

In 1972 and 1988, the Northeast Foreign Language Teaching Conference (NECTFL) held two seminars on cultural and educational topics。 The conference reached a consensus on the importance of cultural teaching to foreign language teaching and foreign language learners。 (Zhang Hongling, 2007: 161)。 More and more foreign language educators believe that understanding foreign culture and cultural comparison is an indispensable part of language teaching, and explored cultural teaching from different perspective。                                                             

Chinese intercultural communication research started from late 1980s。 Until the 1990s,, Chinese scholars began to write and edit intercultural communication research works, and a large number of papers were published。 In the 1970s and 1980s, by the influence of Hymes et al。's view of communicative competence, the purpose of foreign language teaching was to develop learners' communicative competence and to explicitly put culture as the content of teaching。 With the rise of intercultural communication, people began to realize that language teaching must be combined with cultural teaching。

Some researchers use empirical research methods to study。 Such as Gao Yongchen (2006) uses Suzhou University English "higher requirements" class students cross-cultural communication ability of empirical research as evidence to reveal the students' problems in intercultural communication ability , put forward that the basic countermeasure for college English teaching is to develop students' intercultural ability。 Li Yuan, Fan Jieping (2007) researched the identity status of the Chinese college students before and after going abroad 。 The study shows that "pattern solid" has a relatively solid and variability, and direct contact does not digest most of the "pattern solid", but reinforces some "pattern fix" and produces a new "pattern"。文献综述

3。1 The demand of real life

The process of global economic integration is accelerating。 Economy is the lifeblood of a country, a nation and a region。 With the development of economy, the exchanges among the country, nationality and region are becoming more and more frequent in politics, culture, science and technology, trade and so on。 This relationship can be expressed as cooperation and assistance, as well as negotiation, or even conflict, the war, the world has formed a persified pattern, and becomes brilliant, with countless changes。 In fact, no matter what kind of communication, the same is that everyone should communicate with each other。 We need to contact, meetings, negotiation, consultation and discussion, the fundamental reason is that the diplomatic arena is spectacular。 Therefore, these so-called "diplomacy" are typical cross-cultural communication, because the development of modern science and technology has shortened the time and space distance between people, it can not narrow the psychological distance between people。 Different countries and nations, because of different history, different social customs, the formation of a specific cultural background, specific cultural background, which make the formation of value orientation, thinking mode, social norms, pragmatic rules different。 These factors make the disorder in cross-cultural communication, which bring the low efficiency of the communication and the misunderstanding of interaction potential and cultural conflict may lead to unnecessary, will bring disaster to human beings。
