With the development of global cooperation in business

tourism

education

culture and sports

etc.

it’s significant to have high-level intercultural communicative competence for people who join in these types of intercultural activities. On the other hand

the existing higher education teaching content and method cannot meet such a fast growing need of college students

especially for the most relative course: College English. Chinese college graduates still lack the ability to smoothly and successfullyconduct intercultural activities. The latest issued Requirements for College English Teaching by Chinese Ministry of Education stressed that the main objectives for college English teaching is to develop the students’ intercultural communicative competence. Therefore

this paper aims at exploring the effective model of Intercultural communicative competence training in an ELT course for Chinese college students based on literature review and a survey in Sichuan Normal University.
