ICC理论模型对培养商务英语专业学生跨文化沟通能力的指导意义

Discussion on the Instructive Significance of the Cultivation of the ICC Theoretical Model upon the Intercultural Communicative Competence of Business English Majors

结合对Byram的跨文化交际能力(ICC)理论模型的研究,笔者提出商务英语专业学生在学习语言技能的同时,应力争做成功的语言输出者,成为理想的跨文化代言人。这是指语言学习者应不仅能够进行有效的语言交流,还应能克服文化优越感和文化偏见,将自身文化体系与目的语文化体系相关联,形成跨文化态度,学习跨文化知识,提升跨文化技能,培养文化思辨能力,能够与目的国文化背景的人进行有效交流,增强商务双赢效果。

According to the study on Byram's ICC Model, the author thinks that the business English majors should take great efforts to become successful language speakers and capable intercultural spokesmen while concentrated on learning language skills. In other words, the language learners should not only communicate effectively but overcome the cultural superiority and bias and associate the local culture and the target culture. It is very advisable for learners to develop an intercultural attitude, absorb the intercultural knowledge, improve the intercultural skills and cultivate the critical thinking on culture in order to communicate effectively with business partners and finally enhance the win-win effect.
