Enhancing Intercultural Communicative Competence Through English-Mediated Chinese Governance Narratives: A Case Study of University Students in China

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In the context of globalization, intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has become a critical objective in higher education. This paper investigates how engaging Chinese university students in English-mediated storytelling of Chinese governance narratives can effectively enhance their ICC. Focusing on key governance themes such as people-centered development, common prosperity, and ecological civilization, the study argues that using English to articulate these concepts not only contributes to international communication and national image-building, but also provides students with a meaningful opportunity to develop both linguistic proficiency and intercultural awareness.
