Globalization is a major trend

and people all over the world will communicate and exchange frequently in the future. In the process of transnational communication

the biggest obstacle is not only the language barrier

but also the culture barrier. Each country has its own cultural heritage

and language itself is the essence of culture. If you want to be proficient in a language

you have to master the cultural heritage of the country in order to better understand the meaning of each sentence. Therefore

in English teaching in colleges and universities

we should not only focus on language learning

but also pay attention to the improvement of intercultural communication skills. Intercultural communication skills are a must for college students to master the ability and will be the core content in college English classes in the future. This paper will analyze the problems that may be encountered in the process of intercultural communication and how the problems encountered should be solved.
