Abstract

With the rapid development of education globalization, increased attention should be paid to the Intercultural Sensitivity and the Intercultural Communication Competence of students planning to study in a multicultural environment. The purpose of this study is to discuss intercultural sensitivity cultivation in Chinese students who are going to study in foreign universities. A review of empirical studies on the intercultural sensitivity level of Chinese students is conducted and the results show that the intercultural sensitivity level of Chinese students (including students preparing to study abroad) is generally medium. Suggestions are put forward as to developing the intercultural sensitivity of Chinese students who are going to study in a foreign university. This paper is one of the very few papers addressing intercultural sensitivity development of Chinese students planning to study in a multicultural environment.
