Abstract: For Foreign language teaching, the educators are concerned about how to learn and use the target language effectively. Various theories and methods come into being in different times. With the continuous development of the theory, people realize that it is not enough to master the language ability only. With the development of economic globalization, the communication between countries is more and more frequent, which requires the improvement of intercultural communicative competence. But the professional knowledge of learning corresponding language does not guarantee effective intercultural communication. In China, the cultivation of intercultural communicative competence has attracted great attention. Cross-cultural communication ability is not only a kind of knowledge accumulation, but also a kind of consciousness. How to cultivate and improve the ability of cross-cultural communication has become a key problem in foreign language teaching. First of all, from the perspective of the communication and culture, this paper deeply analyses the definition and characteristics of intercultural communication, and analyzes how to cultivate cross-cultural communicative competence and its importance. The last part is to study the cultivation of intercultural communication ability based on the analysis of the new concept English 2.
