Abstract


Japanese strictly distinguish between inside and outside, that is, they have a strong sense of inside and outside. The character has penetrated the study and life of Japanese students. Living in a different cultural environment, Japanese students are more influenced by Internal and External Consciousness in cross-cultural communication. The purpose is to draw out the influence of Internal and External Consciousness on the intercultural communication of Japanese students and put forward targeted teaching strategies accordingly by listing the misunderstandings among Japanese students in intercultural communication through the HSK dynamic corpus of Beijing Language and Culture University.
