Cultural stereotype is a double-edged sword, it can enable students to understand foreign culture in a short time and form a thought of first impression and then generate a negative influence such as rejection and bias against a culture. During the teaching of international Chinese, in order to avoid the negative influence of cultural stereotype, teachers are required to train students' abilities of cultural empathy. In this article, based on studying the influence of cultural stereotype in the teaching of international Chinese, this author raises an opinion of training students' cultural empathy, and show a teaching program of training students' abilities of cultural empathy during the teaching of international Chinese through analyzing the teaching logs and trans-cultural interaction cases of international Chinese teachers at home and abroad.
