Session Description:
With intercultural competence (ICC) recognized as a significant goal of foreign language education, this session addresses the key questions of what ICC is, how to develop ICC, and how to assess ICC. Drawing on twenty years of ICC teaching and research experience and based on the Integrated Model for Chinese Students' Intercultural Competence Development (Zhang & Yao, 2020), the speaker will present the National College Students' Intercultural Competence Contest (SNICC), which has gained substantial popularity in China due to its advanced conceptualization of intercultural competence, scientifically formulated evaluation criteria, and innovative contest tasks. The session will elucidate the conceptual framework underlying the contest, discuss participants' performance and evolving trends over the past decade, and analyze how the contest inspires and promotes ICC teaching, assessment, and research.
