Abstract

The informatization and modernization of education represent the higher level of education development in a country. With the rapid development of computer network technology, the application of computer technology in education informatization has become a major trend of teaching reform in colleges and universities. Guided by the components of intercultural communication competence proposed by Judith Martin and Thomas Nakayama of the United States, this paper designs a Likert questionnaire from the perspectives of knowledge, emotion, mind and situation and randomly selected about 150 college students to investigate their cur-rent cultivation of intercultural communication competence by using computer technology. It starts with a visual analysis of the Status Quo of domestic college students’ computer-based autonomous cultivation of intercultural communication competence by relevant data retrieved from CNKI, then carries out a linearity regression analysis of the questionnaires retrieved from the students. By studying the independent variables, dependent variables and the relations be-tween the two in the Coefficients, Histogram, and Normal Q-Q plot, the paper finds out that in the information age of college education, computer technology is profoundly affecting the level of intercultural communication competence of contemporary college students, and the knowledge aspect of college students’ intercultural communication competence is rather high thanks to the convenience and accessibility to computer technology. However, their intercultural communication competence needs to be further strengthened in the other three aspects due to possible subjective factors involved in their emotion, complexity in different language environments and the lack of opportunities of application of foreign languages. Based on the results, this paper further puts forward corresponding suggestions on the ways to autonomously cultivate college students’ intercultural communication competence through computer technology.
