Abstract:Into 21st century, an increasing number of ethnic minority students from different regions and with different cultural backgrounds are educated in schools, and cross-cultural communications between teachers and minority students increase correspondingly. Faced with these students, teachers must acquire certain cross-cultural knowledge to properly guide students and properly handle the relationship between teachers and students, and between students of different ethnic groups, making all parties live in harmony and progress together. This is the key to teacher education in ethnic regions as well as the requirements of times to properly handle ethnic relations, improve education for national unity and progress, and foster awareness of the Chinese national community in the new era.
