Higher Education Studies, v15 n2 p235-245 2025
This PRISMA-guided systematic review explores the development of intercultural communication competence (ICC) in English majors in Jingdezhen, China, for sectors such as tourism, cultural marketing, and ceramic translation. The study adopts the methodology of a systematic literature review, analyzing 22 papers between 2014 and 2024. The review finds students' fundamental ICC, including cultural awareness, communication skills, language skills, and practical experience. It also finds lags in digital literacy, intercultural responsibility, and global citizenship, which are increasingly at the heart of effective international engagement. Research states it would better prepare students for worldwide participation by making ICC training work through experiential learning, information technologies, and intercultural obligations. Research provides stimulating details about flaws within current ICC courses. It emphasizes the need to create a professional training system to render Jingdezhen's English majors more interculturally flexible and internationally competitive, in line with the city's growing global cultural and economic impact.
