跨文化能力是大学外语教学需关注的核心元素。长期以来,大学外语教学一直以语言能力作为其教学的关注点,关注的视野仅仅局限于将外语知识点传授给学生,无形中扭曲了大学外语教学的基本精神。在多元文化时代背景下,大学外语教学应该重视跨文化能力的培养,把握好大学外语教学的方向。 Cross-cultural competence is the core element of university foreign language teaching. For a long time, college foreign language teaching has always used language ability as the focus of its teaching. The focus of attention has been limited to imparting foreign language knowledge to students, virtually distorting the basic spirit of foreign language teaching in universities. In the multicultural era, college foreign language teaching should pay attention to the cultivation of intercultural competence and grasp the direction of foreign language teaching.
