摘  要：自中国实施改革开放以来，大量外企进入中国市场。不同国家之间的商务往来随之变得频繁。英语是商务谈判中交流的工具，为适应国际商务竞争，培养会英语的商务人才显得很重要。这些人才不仅要掌握基本的商务英语知识，也要有跨文化交际能力。有较好的跨文化交际能力的学生在未来工作中能更加容易适应环境，因为他们掌握了不同国家的文化，能选择最恰当的方式来和他们的潜在客户交流。除此之外，他们也能在商务谈判中避免尴尬，误解和冲突。培养商务领域中的合格人才对商务英语教学来说是一个挑战。本文首先介绍了商务英语现状，商务英语的发展，跨文化交际能力和相关研究，然后基于一些例子来找出商务英语课程中文化教学的目的，商务英语文化的习得以及大学商务英语教学中影响跨文化交际能力的因素，最后提出一些跨文化交际能力培养的建议。本文旨在让读者对商务英语教学中跨文化交际能力有一个基本的了解，同时也希望学生在了解商务文化基础上提高跨文化交际意识，从而提高他们商务活动中的跨文化交际能力。
