The promotion of students’ participation in the SFLEP Cup National College Students’ Intercultural Competence Contest on personal development and the improvement of teachers’ teaching cannot be ignored. The review plays an important role of “taking a point to drive a face” and “throwing a stone to stir up a thousand waves.”
