Abstract: The paper points out that there are two paths of enhancing the intercultural communication competence of students explicit path and implicit path. In light of the characteristics of interpretation course, it is relatively scientific and reasonable to improve students' intercultural communication competence in the course of training their interpretation skills, that is, the implicit path. A teaching contrast experiment shows that the mode of combining enhancing intercultural communication competence with training interpretation skills has not exerted obvious positive influence on students' overall intercultural sensitivity, but the influence on respect for cultural differences is very remarkable. The experiment results also indicate that this teaching mode can obviously enhance the score of the test of intercultural communication competence. Correlation analysis and regression analysis show that the comprehensive intercultural sensitivity and all the factors except respect for cultural differences have no obvious relation to the score of the test of intercultural communication competence which indicates that the teaching mode has exerted certain positive influence and needs revising in the teaching practice to better enhance the intercultural communication competence of students.
