In the field of foreign language learning, cross-cultural teaching is getting more and more attention. Improving cross-cultural teaching in German learning has become a hot issue in my country's education reform. Based on literature review and research on intercultural teaching by domestic and foreign scholars, this research aims to explore the correlation between intercultural teaching and communicative competence. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the research on intercultural communicative competence and German teaching under the intercultural communicative approach. This paper mainly expounds the main functions of intercultural communicative competence, proposes four cross-cultural communicative situations, calculates the similarity of language and text by using the weight and similarity formula, and makes statistics on the views of intercultural communicative competence from the perspective of teachers. Experiments show that cultural learning involves more customs, customs, and customs, reaching 63.51%, but the knowledge related to history, geography, and politics is obviously insufficient. It can be seen that many teachers have certain difficulties in these aspects.
