Abstract:Due to imperative needs of English studying, such as globalization, internationalization, advances in transportation and communication technologies, ethics and personal growth and responsibility, etc, it is rather important for people with these needs to know about intercultural communication as well as identity. The aim of knowing intercultural communication is to reduce the impediments within communication to achieve a smooth conversation. Similar to intercultural communication, identity is also difficult to define because it is multi-layered and multifaced. The teaching of second language involves more knowledge about culture and the identity of the other speaker. To improve the communication, a method is presented, including explanation, collection, implementation and feedback. The ultimate goal is to motivate learners and practice their linguistic and intercultural skills.
