Cultural empathy is the central part in the whole system of cross-cultural communication. Meanwhile, cross-cultural communicative ability is extremely important in foreign language teaching. It plays a crucial role in multiple ways. This paper explores the relationship between the cultural empathy and cross-cultural communicative ability, aiming to build an effective foreign language training model to improve students’ skills in cross-cultural communication. Through two investigations into cultural empathy and cross-cultural communicative ability obtained by sixty undergraduates from the English department at Zhejiang Ocean University, it further proposes that there is a positive correlation of the ability of cultural empathy with the cross-cultural communicative ability. This is of great guiding significance for foreign language teaching in China.

Objectives: Cross-cultural communication lays the foundation for sustainable development education. In order to further improve the level of cross-cultural awareness of college students in China, a recommendation algorithm based on cross-cultural communication comparison model is proposed. Methods: The algorithm uses the keywords with high weight in the recommended items as the attribute characteristics of the recommendation items, and then recommends the items with the closest vectors (the highest score of the vector calculation with user characteristics) to the users. Results: TF-IDF method is used to calculate and calculate the keywords with high weight in intercultural communication mode as describing user characteristics, and these keywords are used as describing vector of user characteristics, so as to construct the intercultural awareness model of College students. Finally, APRIORI ALL algorithm is used to train and test the model. Conclusion: The test results show that the error is less than 5%. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective. The intercultural awareness model can improve the intercultural communicative competence of college students and provide a reference for English intercultural teaching in basic education stage.
