Abstract

With the development of globalization and the surging demand for foreign language talents, it is particularly significant to foster intercultural communicative awareness and enhance intercultural communicative competence. Undoubtedly, English reading serves as a crucial part of English learning, and improving the ability of English reading is also one of the important ways to cultivate students' cross-cultural communicative competence. However, both linguistic and non-linguistic differences between Chinese and English create cross-cultural barriers to English reading. Therefore, this paper probes into the training strategies for college English reading ability from the perspective of cross-cultural communication, so as to better train college students' cross-cultural English reading ability and further improve the teaching level of college English reading. All in all, this paper has indicated that teachers should not only introduce some cultural context to learners, but also help build up their cross-cultural awareness in foreign language teaching. Only by combining these two steps mentioned above can the purpose of cross-cultural communication be exactly achieved.
