Abstract
Based on Michael Byram’s(1997) model of Intercultural Communicative (ICC) Competence and the requirements of ICC Competence listed in the New Standards Curriculum(2011), this thesis aims to study the effects of incorporating the Situational Teaching Method on the cultivation of students’ ICC Competence in junior high school. Research tools employed in this study included two tests for students, two interviews with students and teacher as well as classroom observations. And the results turn out that during two-month learning, the Situational Teaching Method has successfully promoted students’ ICC Competence from the aspects of knowledge, attitudes, skills and critical cultural awareness.
Key words: ICC Competence; Situational Teaching Method; cultural awareness
