Abstract: This study, from a social-cultural perspective, aims to explore how teachers and learners use cross-cultural communication strategies according to different interactional contexts during teacher-learner exchanges in the EFL classroom of exchange program. The study was conducted in three Chinese EFL classrooms and one Thai EFL classroom in a local university in China, involving three different courses, four Chinese English teachers, 102 Chinese adult learners and 32 Thai adult learners. Throughout 12 hours of teacher-learner exchanges, the study examined the strategies employed both by the teachers and learners in natural classroom contexts. Five main cross-cultural communication strategies applied by exchange program teachers were identified : Recasting & Repairing, Elicitation, Informing, Evaluation and Extending. Five different kids of cross-cultural communication strategies applied by students were identified : Self-repair, Non verbal Behaviour, Language switching, Self-selection of turn taking and also included Elicitation. Accordingly, In Chinese EFL classroom, the three categories of strategies applied by teachers consisted of Elicitation, Recasting and informing; also strategies used by students comprised Elicitation, Self-selection of turn taking and language switching. Then, the three types of strategies in the Thai EFL classroom applied by teachers included Evaluation, Extending, moreover, Repair & Recasting and elicitation, non-verbal behaviours and Self-repair employed by students. This study suggests that both teachers’ provision of CCC strategies and learners’ applying cross-cultural communication strategies were significantly context-dependent. Interactional contexts should not be underestimated when investigating cross-cultural communication strategies in classroom interaction.
