THE INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE: A PRAGMATIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

In countries where ethnic diversity is on the rise, successful relationships with friends and neighbours and intercultural partners depend on the ability to deal effectively with differences in a positive manner. The present publication seeks to address this topic of growing interest to many audiences in all the regions of the world, intercultural competence. We will present some activities focused on developing the intercultural competence at the English language classes. The development of intercultural competence presents a challenge for educators and learners alike, yet its attainment enables exciting possibilities. Intercultural competence offers the chance of transcending the limitations of one’s own world view.
