Study on the Influence Mechanism of Overseas Study Experience on Chinese Students'Intercultural Communication Ability
To explore the mechanisms by which overseas study experiences influence the intercultural communica-tion skills of Chinese returnees,in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 individuals who studied abroad and for whom English is a second language.Based on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory,the key factors that affect cross-cultural communication ability and influence durability are divided into three categories:individual perception and response to study abroad experience,social scope and communication willingness,cultural differences and re-verse culture shock.It is found that students with different characteristics have different perceptions of study abroad experience and initial second language level will affect students'social range and communication initiative.In ad-dition,the lasting influence of overseas study experience on Chinese students'intercultural communication ability varies from person to person,and reverse culture shock also has an important impact on individuals.In order to op-timize students'study abroad experience and improve the quality of talent training,it is suggested to carry out tar-geted training guidance to help students adapt to the environment;language reinforcement and stimulation to pro-mote cross-cultural communication and to provide ample opportunities for interaction;interventions to help them smooth the"transition"back home.
