%X This paper aims to develop a way of assessing twenty Chinese college studentsĄ¯ development of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in one semester in an Audio-visual College English Course in Mainland China by quantitative AntConc Keyword List analysis of the studentsĄ¯ four batches of Mandarin Chinese reflective journals kept at regular intervals during one semester. The assessment is with reference to two Chinese scholars Zhang & YangĄ¯s (2012) model of ICC. As revealed by the AntConc Keyword List analysis, the words related to Zhang & YangĄ¯s (2012) model of ICC move gradually from the Negative Keyword Lists to the Positive Keyword Lists, which indicates that studentsĄ¯ ICC developed to different degrees during the course.
