A Review of Participation in the Intercultural Competence Contest
Abstract
Guided by the Belief Theory and the Action Research Theory, this study explores a practical path of “promoting learning through contests and facilitating teaching via contests” by reviewing the preparation, training, participation, and reflection of teachers and students in three intercultural competence contests in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The promotion of students’ participation in the SFLEP Cup National College Students’ Intercultural Competence Contest on personal development and the improvement of teachers’ teaching cannot be ignored. The review plays an important role of “taking a point to drive a face” and “throwing a stone to stir up a thousand waves.”
