Abstract

With the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, more and more foreign students study in Chinese and Chinese culture. Meanwhile, China spreads Chinese culture and makes the world feel more about Chinese culture. This undoubtedly requires the continuous development and expansion of the faculty of international Chinese language teachers. However, the international Chinese language teachers are still facing the current situation of small quantity and poor quality. The professional quality of international Chinese teachers needs to be improved urgently, especially the improvement of cross-cultural teaching ability is the top priority. The International Chinese Teacher Standard sets out clear requirements for teachers' intercultural communication ability, who need to understand the basic principles and strategies of intercultural communication; master the cross-cultural communication skills, can effectively solve the problems encountered in the cross-cultural communication; and can use the target language or English for communication and teaching. In the actual teaching process, international Chinese teachers should not only pay attention to the Chinese ontology knowledge such as Chinese pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, but also need to understand and solve the possible cross-cultural problems. We should focus on cultivating cross-cultural communication skills. The paper discusses the effective ways for international Chinese teachers to improve the cross-cultural teaching ability from three aspects: cultivating the belief and attitude of cross-cultural education, independent learning and understanding of different cultural knowledge so as to have a good cultural knowledge reserve, improving the classroom practice ability in the process of cross-cultural teaching, and establishing the correct cultural view.
