What is cross-cultural communication?

It refers to the communication between native speakers and non-native speakers, and also refers to the communication between people with different language and cultural backgrounds. Generally speaking, if dealing with foreigners (because of differences in language and cultural background), what problems should be paid attention to and how to communicate properly.

From the perspective of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, the concept of "cross-cultural communication" can be defined as: in a specific communication situation, communicators with different cultural backgrounds use the same language (mother tongue or target language) for oral communication.

The communication between the two sides is direct oral communication.

At present, the research on cross-cultural communication in China mainly focuses on foreign language teaching. Cross-cultural communication is a young discipline, and it is a new discipline that appears in the specific era of increasingly frequent international exchanges and global economic integration. In China, the study of cross-cultural communication is the product of reform and opening-up, and it is the need of strategic decision-making for the international promotion of Chinese. Cross-cultural communication is a comprehensive subject and the result of comprehensive research in contemporary social sciences. The subject background mainly involves cultural linguistics, sociolinguistics and verbal communication.

Among them, cultural linguistics highlights the cultural side, sociolinguistics highlights the social side, and verbal communication highlights the communicative side. These three different aspects all revolve around the core of "pragmatics" of linguistic signs and nonverbal signs. It is on this basis that such a comprehensive language discipline has been established. There are some problems in popular interpretation in English learning. Many people have many obstacles in language communication. At the earliest time, communication barriers were due to your poor English expression, which is the traditional view.
