Cultivating intercultural competence is a critical objective in English language teaching. This paper explores the practical application and pedagogical reflections of integrating the Framework of Reference for Intercultural Competence Teaching into senior high school English reading instruction. By employing backward design aligned with the framework, the study aims to foster students’ deep comprehension of texts, enhance their intercultural awareness, cultivate positive intercultural attitudes, and ultimately develop their intercultural competence.
