Abstract

It is very common to stress on language rather than culture in the process of German language learning in China, and cultural differences are ignored, so that misunderstanding and conflict are often inevitably occurred. In this paper, the concept of culture and intercultural communication will be illustrated at first. Then cultural differences between Germany and China as well as the integration of culture and language in German language teaching will be also introduced and discussed. Finally, it attempts at training of intercultural communication competences for students in German teaching. Meanwhile, some specific communication strategies and skills will be provided, in order to improve language skills and intercultural communication competences for German language learners, and then to help them to achieve successful communication.
