CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
With the increasing international communication and cooperation, interculturalcommunicative competence (ICC) has become one of the most basic qualities forprofessionals in the 21st century (Chen, 2013, p.6). According to Syllabus for EnglishMajors in Chinese Tertiary Institutions (“Syllabus” in brief hereafter) (AdvisoryBoard, 2000), it has been clearly stated that students’ ICC should be well developed. Itis necessary to develop students’ language accuracy and cultivate students’ sensitivity,tolerance and flexibility in different cultures so as to meet the increasing demands ofinternational communication (Advisory Board, 2000, p.12). It is imperative to set theobjective of developing students’ ICC, helping them to communicate with peoplefrom different cultures. In order to enlarge the scope of students’ knowledge anddevelop their ICC, Chinese tertiary institutions have been making efforts to reformtheir courses.ICC is not efficiently developed through the conventional skill-orientedcurriculum for English majors since English departments in China have been focusingtheir attention on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills without adequateattention to cultural knowledge in the curriculum stipulated in the syllabus. Since2007, a university in Northeast China has adopted the CBI philosophy and offered aseries of content-based courses, including the culture-based, literature-based andlinguistics-based. Although a mounting number of studies related to content-basedcourses have been conducted, the study on the cultivation of ICC in CBI courses is inscarcity.
