Abstract

With the rapid development of communication technology, cross-cultural communication between regions and countries transcends the limitations of time and space. The form and content of cross-cultural communication are unprecedentedly diverse. Avoiding and resolving the accompanying cross-cultural conflicts and cultivating international talents with cross-cultural abilities are important issues in the reform of foreign language education in colleges and universities in various countries. Based on the perspective of learners' self-perception, this paper examines the correlation between Japanese learners' cross-cultural confidence and the elements of cross-cultural educational environment. Reflect on the problems existing in the construction of cross-cultural education in colleges and universities. A survey of 1027 Japanese learners in 5 colleges and universities in Northeast China was conducted. Through quantitative research methods, it is found: Due to the influence of the foreign language teaching mode that focuses on cultivating language ability for a long time, foreign language learners make self-judgment on their own cross-cultural self-confidence mainly based on language ability. The current cross-cultural curriculum consists of foreign cultural courses, There are few cross-cultural professional courses, and they are characterized by incoherence, The system has not yet been formed. Cross-cultural competence development is long-term, diverse and dynamic. Therefore, the construction of intercultural competence education environment needs to explore an open intercultural competence training model on the basis of solid theories and diverse practices.
