ABSTRACT

This study mainly explored how to enhance students' cross-cultural awareness in interactive English second language teaching. Through data analysis and questionnaire survey, this article proposed a complete set of teaching methods and strategies, including enabling students to understand values, etiquette, customs, etc. in different cultural backgrounds, and strengthening students' cross-cultural communication abilities through communication practice activities. After investigation and verification, participants believed that cross-cultural communication is helpful for the development of English learning (69.3%) and can improve language expression ability (39.8%). These teaching methods and strategies have effectively improved students' cross-cultural awareness and communication skills.
