1. Introduction
Culture is a concept which has complex content, and it includes knowledge, beliefs, policy, art, law, ethics, customs, abilities and habits formed by people as social members. Hall (1959:186) reminds us “Culture is communication and communication is culture.” Communication and culture are inseparable. With the global economic integration and the increasing exchanges between the outside world and China, effective intercultural communication becomes an important topic. As the future builders of China, Intercultural communication competence includes not only language skills, but also cultural competence, which is the appreciation and understanding of foreign cultures. In order to cultivate Chinese college students’ intercultural communication competence, language teaching and culture teaching have been combined together in English class. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t improve Chinese college students’ intercultural competence efficiently because usually there is only one or two Listening and Speaking lessons per week when students are in first two years, even some sophomores do not have to study English once they pass CET6. Consequently it is difficult to improve college students' intercultural communicative competence just relying on these lessons in school.
