In recent years, some scholars in China have shown their concern about the correct attitudes towards others' culture and one's own culture in cross cultural communication. However, empirical studies are rarely found in this field. In view of this, a questionnaire involving two parts has been designed and administered to some native English speakers from different English speaking countries to do an empirical study. 31 valid responses have been gotten. The findings indicate that some implications may be drawn to give guidance to foreign language learners and workers in promoting cross-cultural communication in China.
