ABSTRACT: This paper involves an investigation of the relationship between Chinese college students’ international posture and their intercultural willingness to communicate (IWTC) by means of questionnaires obtained from 167 Chinese college students. The results of the Pearson correlation show that there is a significant positive relationship between international posture and IWTC. In addition, the results of the multiple linear regressions indicate that Intercultural Friendship Orientation in English learning that is one factor of the international posture can significantly predict students’ IWTC.
