摘 要

在如今的经济全球化背景下，我国和其他国家的跨文化合作与交流日益密切，对国际化人才的需求也日益增多。本文通过基于微信平台的问卷调查研究，初步探讨当代大学生的跨文化交流情况，根据从问卷中反映的情况，再做访谈进行深一步了解。目的是探究中国大学生的跨文化交流能力，以及微信平台对培养大学生跨文化交流能力的影响。结果表明，微信对大学生跨文化能力发展的影响不大，就跨文化能力发展维度来说，对本国文化知识、态度有一定影响，对意识和外国文化知识、跨文化交流技能以及影响微乎其微。

Abstract

Under the background of economic globalization, the cross-cultural cooperations and communication between China and other countries have become closer and closer, and the demand for internationalized talents have also increased. The paper is based on a research through Wechat, briefly discussing about the situation of contemporary college students’ intercultural communication. According to the feedback, some interviews will be conducted to support further studies. The aim is to explore the Intercultural Communicative Competence(thereafter as ICC) of Chinese students and the influence that Wechat causes to the cultivation of Students’ ICC. The result indicates that Wechat has a little effect on it. From the perspective of dimensions of ICC, it has some influence on native knowledge and attitude, but little on awareness and communicative competence.
