Intercultural communicative competence has not been given enough attention in universities in Yunnan.

The author puts forward the training pattern of application-oriented talents, aiming at changing the prevalent problems which emphasize language and theory over culture and practice, and cultivating high-qualified intercultural communicative talents who can meet the needs of economic and social development.
