摘要：
Cultivating critical thinking (CT) and intercultural communication competence (ICC) currently has been put on the top agenda in English teaching and education. Effective and successful communication across cultures is established on the premise of CT and ICC as well since these two skills overlap to a certain extent [1]. This paper explores how to integrate the cultivation of CT and ICC in the course of A Guide to English-Speaking Countries via a series of teaching cases including video clips and factual matters. Through certain leading questions proposed by the teacher, students' elicited reflections as in-class compositions are collected and analyzed. The research provides some pedagogical indication for teaching similar English courses in the program of general education.
