鉴于当前国际教育的趋势，美国和其他地方的许多高等教育机构都致力于帮助学生为全球化世界中的生活和职业做好准备。对于许多机构来说，这意味着课程和校园的国际化、增加教育交流机会（针对国内和国际学生）以及培养学生的跨文化能力。在此过程中，出现了几个问题：（1）哪些策略是有效的，（2）存在哪些研究差距，（3）衡量质量的标准是什么，以及（4）在缺乏能力证据的情况下，哪些因素决定了他们努力的质量和有效性？本文基于半个世纪的教育交流和跨文化服务经验、对跨文化文献的回顾以及两个跨国研究项目，探讨了对所提出问题的可能回答。这些共同努力导致了跨文化有效性研讨会主题的扩展和（重新）概念化。尽管文献中有超过 50 个术语（包括“跨文化有效性”）（参见 Byram，1997 年；Deardorff，2004 年；Edelstein，2014 年；Martin 和 Nakayama，2000 年）来描述跨文化互动所需的能力，但有一个术语可能是最全面、最准确的——跨文化交际能力（ICC）。
Given current trends in international education, many institutions of higher education in the United States and elsewhere seek to prepare students for life and careers in a globalized world. For many institutions, this means internationalizing curriculum and campus, increasing educational exchange opportunities (for both domestic and international students), and developing intercultural abilities in their students. In the process, several questions arise: (1) which strategies are effective, (2) what research gaps exist, (3) what standards measure quality, and (4) what factors determine the quality and effectiveness of their efforts while lacking evidence about competencies? This article explores a possible response to the questions posed drawing on half a century of experience in educational exchange and intercultural service, a review of the intercultural literature, plus two multinational research projects. These combined efforts led to an expansion and (re)conceptualization of the seminar theme of intercultural effectiveness. Despite more than 50 terms found in the literature (including "intercultural effectiveness") (see, among others, Byram, 1997; Deardorff, 2004; Edelstein, 2014; Martin and Nakayama, 2000), to describe abilities needed for intercultural interaction, one term emerges as perhaps the most comprehensive and most accurate - intercultural communicative competence (ICC).
