In this paper, we examine the possibility of teaching intercultural competence in high schools in the Sarajevo Canton. We conducted an analysis of two coursebooks in use in high schools, prescribed by the curriculum. The research objective is to examine the organization of intercultural teaching. In that sense, we first present an overview of teaching culture, as well as political goals elaborated in Europe during the 1990s. We start from the concept of language teaching and proceed with the definition of intercultural competence and its value according to the White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue, the Treaty of Maastricht and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Furthermore, we compare the data obtained by the analysis of the manuals with the goals of language teaching in Europe. The goal of the research is to put focus on elements of intercultural communication competence represented in the manuals to verify if it is possible to reach the goals determined by the Council of Europe. With that goal in mind, we conducted a qualitative analysis of the coursebooks with the aid of two tables of analysis which enable us to execute a contrastive analysis of the manuals and to compare intercultural elements with the counsels of the documents issued by the Council of Europe. Our hypothesis is that the manuals prescribed by the Ministry for Education, Science and Youth of the Sarajevo Canton represent the Italian culture in a traditional manner, and that they do not fully implement the CEFR instructions. This research can further be used in determining which manuals will be in use in high schools as well as in the curricular reform processes.

Nel presente lavoro analizzeremo i manuali per l’italiano Ls che vengono utilizzati nell'insegnamento della lingua italiana a livello A1 in Montenegro, concentrando la nostra attenzione in primo luogo sul ruolo della competenza interculturale. Dopo aver presentato il ruolo che essa riveste nel QCER, esamineremo quali sono gli elementi (inter)culturali presentati nei manuali che attualmente vengono utilizzati a diversi livelli di studio in Montenegro, dalle scuole medie e superiori ai corsi universitari. L’obiettivo del lavoro è quello di stabilire in che modo viene integrata la competenza interculturale nei manuali di italiano Ls, quali elementi culturali e in che modo vengono presentati nei manuali nonché di stabilire se la tipologia di elementi culturali e la loro quantità, cambiano a seconda del manuale e dell'età degli apprendenti a cui il manuale è destinato

Full textAbstract:
Le migrazioni odierne costituiscono un cambiamento strutturale della società contempora-nea, manifestano i segni delle trasformazioni degli assetti geopolitici mondiali, le dinamiche della globalizzazione e gli effetti che essa sta producendo sulla società (Sassen, 2014; Geisel-berger, 2017; Bauman, 2017; Latour, 2017). Il mondo sta cambiando profondamente e al tempo stesso cambiano gli strumenti di lettura della società: la globalizzazione e lo sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie hanno creato interconnessioni ed interdipendenze che mettono in di-scussione categorie concettuali autoreferenziali ed etnocentriche. In questa prospettiva, le migrazioni globali e la crescente mobilità verso l'Europa rendono molto rilevante l'analisi dei processi di inclusione sociale in relazione alle risposte che offrono i sistemi educativi. Non si tratta più solo di accogliere migrazioni temporanee, ma di imparare a costruire insieme, e imparare ad abitare uno spazio comune in vista di insediamenti durevoli (Latour, 2017). Questo cambiamento induce a rivedere radicalmente il canone monoculturale della scuola, a ripensare le strutture organizzative, il progetto pedagogico e le sue matrici curricolari. Il cambiamento epocale di questi ultimi decenni induce ad assumere una nuova vision in cui la scuola è chiamata a confrontarsi con le trasformazioni che attraversano la società globale e con il riemergere della condizione antropologica dell'homo migrans, in movimento da una parte all'altra del globo attraverso infrastrutture fisiche e/o telematiche, che porta a ridefinire i contenuti della cittadinanza sociale in una prospettiva planetaria. Questa visione avvalora e rende ancora più urgente il progetto dell'«Educazione interculturale» che, ancora impro-priamente associata al governo dei flussi migratori e all'inclusione scolastica degli alunni figli di immigrati, rappresenta un'occasione di rinnovamento culturale per la società nel suo insieme. In questa ottica, l'articolo intende definire i caratteri dell'educazione interculturale e, a partire dall'analisi delle pratiche di inclusione scolastica degli alunni con background mi-gratorio, mettere a fuoco le competenze e le professionalità necessarie a fronteggiare la plu-ralità dei bisogni educativi che si pongono nelle classi scolastiche italiane al fine di integrare tutte le diversità.

Full textAbstract:
Oggi è oltremodo importante investigare sulle migliori strategie volte a facilitare l’acquisizione di competenza comunicativa in LS/L2, anche in considerazione delle più recenti politiche linguistiche europee. Il processo di insegnamento-apprendimento va ripensato in chiave sociolinguistica, pragmatica e interculturale. Come già acclarato dalla ricerca, la partecipazione emotiva dei discenti gioca un ruolo chiave per una maggiore efficacia negli esiti di apprendimento. Ciò è perfettamente in linea coi principi dell’approccio orientato all’azione che ritroviamo nel Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le Lingue e nel Companion Volume del 2018. Il presente contributo intende descrivere potenzialità e vantaggi delle tecniche teatrali impiegate in glottodidattica. Non sono moltissimi gli studi teorici in questo campo proprio perché esso si basa su esperienze pratiche che, oltre ad una buona padronanza in LS/L2, mirano ad ottenere risultati in ambito sociale, specialmente per gli stranieri, come la possibilità di un più rapido adattamento nel paese di accoglienza mantenendo il proprio bagaglio linguistico e culturale. La glottodidattica teatrale ha suscitato sempre maggior interesse perché rispondente in pieno alla promozione di un’educazione plurilinguistica e interculturale e della convivenza democratica.

Full textAbstract:
I proverbi con la loro forma particolare, fissa e concisa, ritmicamente organizzata e stimolante adempiono un ruolo di trasferimento d’esperienze, sapere popolare e cognizioni essenziali per la sopravvivenza. Vengono considerati validi strumenti per raggiungere diversi obiettivi educativi e per chiarire il rapporto tra cultura e lingua. La complessità nel collocare e nell’analizzare la struttura dei proverbi spesso scoraggia i docenti ostacolando l᾽impiego didattico di questa inesauribile fonte di diverse sfaccettature didattiche. In questo contributo vengono proposti svariati usi dei proverbi nell’apprendimento dell’italiano come lingua straniera. Un᾽unità didattica, anche nelle sue fasi principali, offre molteplici possibilità di applicazione dei proverbi in tutti gli ambiti dell’insegnamento di base: lessicale, grammaticale, morfosintattico e fonologico. Contemporaneamente apre orizzonti di valore civico culturale. La padronanza dei proverbi in una lingua straniera è un indicatore valido e rilevante della competenza interculturale che fa parte integrante della competenza comunicativa. I proverbi sono nello stesso tempo un incentivo per gli insegnanti a inoltrarsi in significati linguistici non sempre espliciti, difficili da interpretare e dominare a pieno.

Full textAbstract:
Analizzando opere letterarie sia di autori nati in Italia e poi emigrati, sia di scrittori immigrati in Italia, che hanno scelto di scrivere in italiano le proprie opere, l’articolo mostra il rapporto costitutivo tra io e alterità caratteristico dell’autobiografia linguistica. Imparare un’altra lingua significa prima di tutto confrontarsi drasticamente con l’impossibilità del rapporto simbiotico, che l’individuo plurilingue non può più proiettare né sulla lingua madre e le figure familiari, né sul sostituto di una completa identificazione tra individuo e società. La lingua materna diventa così da una parte fantasma che evoca sensi di colpa e un simbolico “matricidio”, dall’altra serbatoio di esperienze che possono confluire nella scrittura e mettere l’individuo in contatto con i propri desideri più profondi. A sua volta, la seconda lingua può diventare oggetto di diverse strategie di elaborazione: dalla distorsione aggressiva, al confronto interculturale, alla maturazione di una competenza metalinguistica e pragmatica.
An autobiographical narrative rooted in otherness: the literary representation of language learning
By analyzing literary works both by authors born in Italy and then emigrated, and by writers immigrated to Italy, who have chosen to write their works in Italian, the article shows the constitutive relationship between self and otherness which is characteristic of linguistic autobiography. Learning another language means first of all dealing with the impossibility of the symbiotic relationship which the multilingual individual can no longer project either on the mother tongue and family figures, or on the substitute of a complete identification between the individual and society. The mother tongue thus becomes on the one hand a ghost that evokes feelings of guilt and a symbolic "matricide", on the other hand a reservoir of experiences that can flow into writing and put the individual in contact with their deepest desires. In turn, the second language can become the object of different processing strategies: from aggressive distortion, to intercultural confrontation, to the maturation of a metalinguistic and pragmatic competence.

Nel presente contributo vengono esposti alcuni risultati della ricerca sull’interculturalità e sull’educazione interculturale, condotta in sei regioni slovene e italiane con presenza di minoranze linguistiche e culturali. La ricerca ha preso in considerazione vari aspetti della didattica, della formazione degli insegnanti, degli atteggiamenti degli allievi e dei loro genitori riguardo all’apprendimento in classi linguisticamente e culturalmente eterogenee. I risultati presentati nel contributo riguardano le opinioni degli insegnanti sull’insegnamento in classi linguisticamente e culturalmente eterogenee, suddivise in seguenti categorie: (1) lo sviluppo professionale, (2) personale e culturale degli insegnanti coinvolti nelle classi linguisticamente e culturalmente eterogenee, (3) la loro percezione dell'apprendimento in generale e linguistico in particolare, e (4) delle relazioni interpersonali tra gli allievi. Dall'inchiesta che ha coinvolto 281 insegnanti emerge una percezione degli insegnanti molto positiva del loro sviluppo professionale e culturale, e neutra riguardo la collaborazione con altri insegnanti. Sebbene la maggioranza degli insegnanti non sia dell'opinione che la compresenza di allievi di diverse origini linguistiche e culturali ostacoli il lavoro in classe, dichiara comunque che l'insegnamento in classi linguisticamente e culturalmente eterogenee richiede lavoro aggiuntivo. La didattica non risente delle difficoltà nella comunicazione tra allievi di lingue e culture diverse, così come lo sviluppo della competenza comunicativa della lingua d'insegnamento non è compromesso dalla eterogeneità linguistica in classe. Molto positiva è la percezione degli insegnanti relativa allo sviluppo di rapporti interpersonali tra gli allievi

Due to the changes in society and the new era of “super-diversity” (Vertovec, 2007) in European countries, intercultural competence is gaining importance both in everyday life situations and teacher training. In the academic year of 2014/2105, a research was conducted on a sample of 136 prospective secondary school teachers undergoing their pedagogical-didactical-methodological training in different universities in the Republic of Croatia. The tool that was employed in the self-assessment of intercultural competence was called Recognising intercultural competence: What shows that I am interculturally competent? The results showed that the examinees perceive their intercultural competence quite high; attitudes (M = 4,09); skills (M = 4,12); knowledge (M = 4,02). There is no significant difference between the perceived dimensions (p = ,282). Further research is recommended to better understand the insights about the examinees’ understanding of intercultural competence.

Full textAbstract:
Today’s education places a strong emphasis on helping students become interculturally competent. Given its significance, the current study aims to evaluate the development of intercultural competence of undergraduate EFL students at the Ibn Khaldoun University of Tiaret. Because there are not many studies assessing or how to assess university EFL students’ intercultural competence in Algeria, it is necessary to research how much intercultural competence is incorporated into the current university English education program. Thus, the main question addressed is whether Algerian undergraduate EFL students have intercultural competence. To address this question, 36 third-year English major students at the Ibn Khaldoun University of Tiaret were randomly chosen to participate in the study. The measurement tool was a questionnaire with inquiries regarding the following three intercultural competence dimensions: attitudes, knowledge and skills. The findings of this study showed that although the participants’ intercultural attitudes and knowledge are high, they lack the intercultural skills that are essential for attentive intercultural speakers to interpret and use appropriate expressions associated with the cultural environment. As a result, this study strongly recommends that it is crucial to incorporate all the elements of intercultural competence in the current English curriculum at Algerian universities.

The importance of developing intercultural competence as one of the key competences in today’s rapidly changing and multicultural society has been spoken of often. The requirement of preparing interculturally competent communicators has therefore become one of the goals of today’s foreign language education. The aim of the present paper is to shed light on the practice of fostering intercultural skills in teaching English as a foreign language at Slovak secondary schools. The findings of the research, including observations of lessons, interviews with teachers, as well as analysis of teaching materials, reveals that the development of intercultural competence is still not integrated into foreign language education in Slovakia.

Full textAbstract:
This article is a response to “Beyond It Was Great” argument that dominates much of the recent study abroad research literature. This argument is based on assertions: growth in students’ intercultural competence is disappointing, and students’ intercultural competence is best developed when experts intervene and students engage in deliberate reflection. I point to results from large study abroad studies to raise questions about assertions that student growth is “disappointing” and that the interventionist approach is the best approach to developing students’ intercultural competence. I question the term “intervention” and the assumptions it carries about students becoming more interculturally competent. I describe two alternatives to the interventionist approach that have a distinctly different view of how intercultural competence develops and the respective roles of the teacher and students. I conclude that diversity of assessments and instructional approaches is critical for the future of research and practice in the relatively young field of study abroad.

Cette étude interpelle une problématique incontournable tenant à l’enseignement à l’université, à savoir l’adaptation continue aux exigences du marché du travail, ce qui se traduit au niveau des contenus par une mise en concordance des objectifs d’enseignement avec les compétences professionnelles requises. Au niveau de l’enseignement d’une langue étrangère à des fins professionnelles, cette mise en concordance implique, entre autres, l’intégration de la dimension interculturelle dans les contenus dispensés afin de munir l’étudiant des compétences nécessaires pour qu’il/elle puisse (inter)agir dans le contexte multiculturel actuel du marché du travail. Dans ce contexte, cette étude propose, dans un premier temps, un retour théorique sur les concepts culture et interculturel envisagés comme des balises significatives dans l’enseignement actuel des langues étrangères et qui précisent, par les compétences spécifiques à atteindre, les nouvelles exigences auxquelles l’enseignement d’une langue étrangère doit satisfaire. Notre recherche se poursuit par un retour sur les spécificités de l’enseignement d’une langue étrangère à des fins professionnelles et fournira une proposition concrète d’alignement des contenus enseignés dans le cours Langues modernes (français) pour la filière de médecine de notre université aux objectifs de la compétence interculturelle. Une proposition de programme contenant des activités visant l’interculturel articulées autour des contenus initialement proposés pour cette spécialisation sera avancée.
Developing intercultural competence in teaching French for professional purposes at university
Our study investigates an essential problem related to university teaching, namely continuous adaptation to the labour market standards and requirements, which at the curriculum level involves a correlation between learning objectives and competency profile requested and expected in the professional world. With respect to foreign language teaching for professional purposes, this correlation implies, among other things, the integration of intercultural dimension in the contents taught in order to provide the student with necessary skills and enabling him/her able to efficiently (inter)act in today’s multicultural labour market, and finally meet the needs of contemporary world. In this context, our research firstly offers a theoretical approach to the concepts of culture and interculturel, which are envisaged as landmarks in today’s foreign language teaching philosophy and which specify, through their specific objectives to be achieved, new standards that foreign language teaching must comply with. Our study also offers a theoretical framework to the particularities of foreign language teaching for professional purposes. This enables us to reformulate the initial objectives associated to foreign language for professional purposes by integrating the objectives related to the development of intercultural competence. Finally, this study also proposes a concrete course content of medical French based on the course already delivered to the students studying medicine in Dunarea de Jos University of Galati. The course has been remodelled so as to meet the objectives of intercultural competence. In doing so, we firstly analysed the topics included in the course content with respect to aspects related to culture or intercultural communication, and afterwards we provided a list of cultural- and intercultural communication-oriented topics that could be articulated around the already proposed content of a French course for medicine. This proposal is also accompanied by a series of methodological recommendations that should be taken into consideration prior to designing a course for medical French.

Full textAbstract:
Preparing effective language learners who are ready to engage with speakers from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and to become internationally competent is a significant and challenging task. It is expected that language teaching programs need to provide the opportunity for learners to develop intercultural competency and learner beliefs through raising awareness about intercultural differences. Therefore, the instructional experience is prerequisite in preparing learners to become aware and supporter of the cross-cultural issues that can either facilitate or hinder learners’ achievement. This study intends to explore the relationship between intercultural competence of the learners and their experienced degree of demotivation as expressed by them at the university level. Intercultural competence was operationalized as a multidimensional notion comprising the communication effectiveness, adaptation, social integration, knowledge of the target culture, and language competence. Findings of regression analysis highlighted that only the social integration and adaptation components could predict the degree of demotivation. Additionally, the correlation results revealed a strong relationship between the language competence and communication effectiveness components of intercultural competence. According to the obtained findings, the possible clarifications for the contribution of intercultural competence components to the demotivation of learners were elaborated.

Full textAbstract:
A period of globalisation and the interconnectedness of people across the world has increased the demand for greater intercultural competences among young people in particular. Being interculturally competent entails modifying behaviour in culturally appropriate ways when establishing contact with diverse cultures. The development of this competence is a long and never-ending process that which is influenced by a variety of factors, some of the most important being school policies, surroundings, individual work, personal needs and curiosity. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the impact of grade level, grade point average (GPA) and gender on intercultural competences by distributing the questionnaire developed by Portalla and Chen (2010) to 211 Bosnian high school students. The results showed that the students’ grade levels and GPAs did not have a statistically significant influence on their intercultural competences, whereas gender only had a significant impact on their intercultural competences on the Interactant Respect subscale. Due to the fact that the students should be taught intercultural competence at school, their competence is expected to improve in each study grade; thus, based on the students’ GPAs, this study may help teachers to identify a gap in their instruction and to modify their teaching content so that it contributes to the development of the students’ intercultural competence, as well as to the promotion of the importance thereof.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid diversification of workforces and client stakeholder groups has prompted a growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion as a critical component of professional development across industry sectors. While the proliferation of intercultural competence training models has increased awareness among employers and workforces, the competencies advocated in these models may not always be relevant to an organization or institution’s operational context. This study addresses the need for contextually grounded intercultural competency models targeted to extension education contexts. Using a three-phased Delphi approach, data were gathered from a panel of 36 intercultural competency experts. The panel identified nine personal traits thought to be critical for the recruitment and development of culturally competent extension educators. The authors explain how these results may be used to recruit extension educators with traits conducive to engagement with a broad audience of stakeholders using culturally sensitive and responsive techniques. Given the distinct processes by which different components of intercultural competence are developed, we recommend specific measures and techniques administrators can utilize to recruit and develop extension educators who possess the agreed-upon intercultural personality traits.

Equipping students with intercultural competence (hereafter IC) is a critical aim of English foreign language classrooms nowadays, and EFL teachers have emerged as essential players for accomplishing this. These teachers should essentially be competent in their intercultural skills so that they can pass these on to their students in order to foster interculturally competent language learners. However, teachers' perceptions regarding IC remain uncertain, particularly in the Turkish context. Thus, before asking teachers to apply methods and strategies so that they can enhance students’ IC in the classroom, it is vital that we investigate what they understand about IC. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to reveal middle and high school teachers’ understanding of the IC phenomenon and their description of the characteristics of an interculturally competent foreign language learner and teacher. In addition, teachers’ perceptions regarding their own and their learners’ IC were also explored in this study. The participants were 30 middle and high school English language teachers teaching at state schools in Turkey. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the data. MAXQDA was exploited in order to analyse the data, primarily to code, categorize, and systematize the findings. The results indicated that the teachers considered IC to be the ability to communicate with people from various cultures effectively, having knowledge about one’s own, target, and other cultures, and developing positive attitudes toward other cultures and societies. They also emphasized the inseparability of language and culture and the importance of English as an international language. The teachers also indicated why they viewed themselves and their learners as interculturally competent or incompetent, which could provide insight into where to start intercultural learning and teaching in foreign language classrooms and how to train EFL teachers about different dimensions of IC.

The Intercultural Competency Certificate (CCI in Spanish) designed for the Universidad Popular Automa del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP University) is a theory based comprehensive plan to develop undergraduate students intercultural competence. This Certificate is based in the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) developed by Milton Bennett (1993) and will be assessed by the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) v.3 developed by Bennett & Hammer (Hammer, 2009; Hammer, Bennett, & Wiseman, 2003). The main purpose of the Intercultural Competency Certificate is to develop students intercultural competence at least to the acceptance level of the DMIS continuum. To achieve this goal, the students will have to develop of necessary knowledge, skill and attitudes (Deardorff, 2006). This Certificate proposes to develop attitudes, knowledge and skills through certain activities as learning a new language, take international classes, reflect about intercultural differences, interact with people from other cultures, travel abroad and receive coaching by a professional who will guide them through tailor-make experiences according to the initial level of intercultural competence, measured by the IDI v.3 at the beginning of the Certification.

Abstract Intercultural communication has become a scientific discipline which aims at improving communication during intercultural contacts by means of fostering the intercultural awareness and competence of the interlocutors involved within the intercultural communication process. In view of the intensifying European and international contacts the interest for this competency has grown during the last decades. This can among others be observed within foreign language teaching, but also in the training of translators at university level where new didactical approaches and teaching methods are being developed in order to improve the intercultural of future translators. This article presents a preliminary collaboration between the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and non-profit organization of translators, as well as the theoretical and practical backgrounds of a project which that they envisage to realize in future in order to transform its participants into intercultural competent translators.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo aclarar el lugar significativo de la interculturalidad en el aula de idiomas. De hecho, las sociedades actuales están expuestas a cambios profundos a nivel individual y colectivo bajo el efecto de la digitalización. Esto significa que el individuo experimenta una nueva socialización, una especie de socialización digital dentro de la cual la dimensión intercultural ocupa un lugar central a través de la apertura lingüística y cultural al otro. Esta situación presenta a la escuela nuevos desafíos. Más allá de las consideraciones didácticas y puramente lingüísticas, el aprendizaje de idiomas adquiere toda su significación al poner en práctica los conceptos fundacionales de la interculturalidad como la competencia intercultural o la competencia comunicativa intercultural. Lo mostraremos a partir de los programas lingüísticos de cooperación internacional, en particular los de la asociación entre la Universidad Hassan1er en Marruecos y la Haute école d'Hénallux en Bélgica. This article aims to highlight the significant place of interculturality in the language classroom. Indeed, current societies are exposed to profound changes at the individual and collective levels under the effect of digitization. This means that the individual experiences a new socialization, a kind of digital socialization within which the intercultural dimension occupies a central place through linguistic and cultural openness to the other. This situation presents the school with new challenges. Beyond didactic and purely linguistic considerations, language learning takes on its full significance by putting to work the founding concepts of interculturality such as intercultural competence or intercultural communication competence. We will show this from the linguistic programs of international cooperation, in particular those of the partnership between the University Hassan1er in Morocco and the Haute école d'Hénallux in Belgium. Le présent article vise à éclairer la place prégnante de l’interculturel dans la classe de langue. En effet, les sociétés actuelles sont exposées à de profondes mutations sur les plans individuel et collectif sous l’effet de la digitalisation. Ce qui fait que l’individu vit une nouvelle socialisation, une sorte de socialisation numérique au sein de laquelle la dimension interculturelle occupe une place centrale par l’ouverture linguistique et culturelle sur l’autre. Cette situation met l’école face à de nouveaux défis. Au-delà des considérations didactiques et purement linguistiques, l’apprentissage des langues prend toute sa signification en mettant à l’œuvre les concepts fondateurs de l’interculturel à l’instar de la compétence interculturelle ou de la compétence à la communication interculturelle. Nous montrerons cela à partir des programmes linguistiques de coopération internationale, notamment ceux du partenariat entre l’Université Hassan1er au Maroc et la Haute école d’Hénallux en Belgique.

Abstract This study aims to evaluate intercultural competence for military students before they go on an international mobility stage and after its completion, in order to see if intercultural competence is formed in real intercultural contexts. In the study, we addressed both theoretical and practical aspects of intercultural competence. As an instrument for data collection, an intercultural competency assessment questionnaire was used and, following its application, it was found that the high level of the “knowledge” component of intercultural competence determines a higher level of the other two elements - “attitudes” and “skills”.

Full textAbstract:
Foreign language ability, global awareness, and intercultural communication skills are increasingly recognized as essential dimensions of productive participation in the emerging economic, civic, political and social arenas of the 21st century. Consequently, these skills are being promoted more intentionally than ever across the spectrum of K16 education. This newly articulated set of objectives for today’s students implies a concomitant set of competencies in educators. These competencies have not traditionally been a focus of professional development efforts in the United States, and little is known about how best to cultivate these competencies in educators. These competencies can be understood in terms of Byram’s (1997) model of intercultural communicative competence (ICC). The principles of ICC development point to online learning as a potentially powerful lever in cultivating teachers’ own competencies in this arena. A review of studies of intercultural learning, technologically-mediated intercultural learning and online teacher professional development is offered to suggest how these three domains might overlap. A synthesis of the findings across these literatures suggests a set of principles and educational design features to promote the building of teachers’ intercultural competencies. A key finding reveals the unique affordances of networked technologies in online learning opportunities to support the development of intercultural competencies in teachers across all subject areas.La competencia en lenguas extranjeras, la conciencia global y la comunicación intercultural están cada vez más reconocidas como aspectos esenciales de la participación productiva en el ámbito económico, cívico, político y social del siglo XXI. Como consecuencia, la promoción internacional de estas competencias adquiere una importancia única en el espectro de la educación infantil, básica y secundaria en Estados Unidos. El conjunto de nuevos objetivos para estudiantes de hoy implica el desarrollo de nuevas competencias entre docentes que no han sido contempladas hasta ahora en las iniciativas de desarrollo profesional llevadas a cabo en Estados Unidos, y poco se sabe sobre la adquisición de estas competencias entre educadores. Estas competencias pueden entenderse según el modelo de competencia comunicativa intercultural de Byram (1997), cuyos principios de desarrollo se basan en señalar el aprendizaje on-line como una herramienta eficaz para la adquisición de competencias entre docentes. En este artículo se presenta el análisis de varios estudios sobre el aprendizaje intercultural; aprendizaje intercultural y tecnología; y el desarrollo profesional on-line de profesores, con el fin de plantear la posibilidad de las tres dimensiones. En suma, se nos ofrece una serie de principios sobre el diseño educativo que promueven la construcción de estas competencias interculturales en los profesores, entre los que destaca la evidencia de que las tecnologías en red aplicadas al aprendizaje on-line poseen aspectos únicos para desarrollar las competencias interculturales en todas las áreas.

Tanto cuando se enseña como cuando se aprende una lengua extranjera seestablece una comunicación intercultural. Por ello, el MCER (Consejo de Europa,2001) como el Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes (I. Cervantes, 2008)establecen que tanto la práctica en clase cuanto los materiales de estudio no solodeben tener por objetivo el desarrollo de la competencia lingüística de losestudiantes sino también el de su competencia intercultural, es decir, saber haceren la cultura nativa y en la ajena, tener una serie de habilidades que permitandesenvolverse satisfactoriamente en situaciones de comunicación intercultural.Para alcanzar una competencia intercultural es necesaria la asociación de losámbitos cognitivo y emotivo. En relación con el primero podemos afirmar, juntocon Rodrigo Alsina, que ‘para establecer una comunicación intercultural hacefalta un mínimo de conocimiento’ (Alsina, 1997). Indudablemente, mientras másse conoce a la otra cultura, mejor puede desarrollarse la competencia interculturaly se es más capaz de superar estereotipos, que son simplificaciones de la realidady que surgen cuando se desconoce la cultura extranjera para buscar explicacionessocialmente aceptables, pero generalmente falsas.

El presente artículo analiza la situación de las competencias interculturales en estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Católica del Norte en Chile. Para lo anterior se aplicó una metodología mixta de carácter complementario. Durante la etapa cualitativa se realizaron tres grupos focales, con 10 participantes cada uno, y ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas. En la etapa cuantitativa se aplicó la Escala de Competencias Interculturales en Salud, la que fue respondida por 130 estudiantes de la Facultad. Se concluye que los estudiantes poseen un desarrollo entre medio y alto en “habilidades cognitivas interculturales”, “habilidades afectivas interculturales” y “habilidades conductuales” para establecer una comunicación intercultural, y un desarrollo bajo en “formación profesional” para vincularse con la diversidad cultural. Lo anterior da cuenta de que existen competencias basales consolidadas para el desarrollo completo de la competencia intercultural, a través de eventuales procesos formativos sistemáticos en el contexto de su proceso académico.

The internationalization of higher education institutions has grown parallel to an increasing need to foster an interculturally competent workforce. In Japan, efforts to internationalize have focused primarily on mobility programmes, often neglecting the impact of internationalization-at-home initiatives. Yet, while numbers of incoming international students continue to increase, the number of Japanese students going abroad in mid- to long-term programs is decreasing. This article describes a PhD project aiming to address gaps in the literature by investigating the impact of at-home strategies on domestic students’ intercultural competence, ultimately contributing to the optimization of programs that promote meaningful interaction between domestic and international students.

Having competency in communicating with different cultures is important in order to avoid intercultural conflict, also to establish effective and proper communication. Although the training participants have different cultural background with Australians, obviously they are competent enough to conduct intercultural communication especially in social formal context. However, in social informal context, they are not competent enough. The training participants are competent in social formal context because they are helped by education setting that accommodative and tolerance towards their weaknesses compared to social informal context.

La escuela del siglo XXI incluye el enfoque intercultural con el objetivo de que la educación del individuo sea integral. En este sentido, muchas de las metodologías y dinámicas de aula no son las más adecuadas para abordar dicho objetivo con plenitud. Este estudio propuso el seguimiento de cinco grupos de estudiantes de Educación Primaria con el objetivo de medir las diferencias significativas por razón de sexo, si las hubiere y comprobar si la práctica de las etnomatemáticas como herramienta didáctica mejora el conocimiento, las habilidades y las actitudes interculturales entre el estudiante participante para mejorar así sus competencias interculturales. Para el desarrollo de la intervención se ha utilizado la traducción de una rúbrica perteneciente a la Association of American Colleges and Universities mediante el método Delphi, (Rubric, 2010) con el objetivo de valorar la competencia intercultural del alumnado antes y después de la implementación de las etnomatemáticas. Tras la intervención educativa, se observó que no existían diferencias significativas en cuanto al género del estudiante participante y, sin embargo, sí se produjeron diferencias significativas en la mejora de su competencia intercultural, Se concluye que la implementación de las etnomatemáticas tiene un efecto positivo en las aulas de Educación Primaria para la mejora de la competencia intercultural de los estudiantes y que, por tanto, resulta una herramienta útil que puede ser incorporada con facilidad en muchos métodos y enfoques pedagógicos (por ejemplo, AICLE).

El análisis de los manuales me permite concluir que el planteamiento metodológico de las actividades, en general, no es adecuado para activar las habilidades y actitudes interculturales del alumno que le permitan llegar a conformar una identidad pluricultural. Por otro lado, los procesos interculturales implicados en las actividades tampoco son muy significativos para favorecer el desarrollo de la consciencia intercultural del alumno.

Studies in Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC) has been extensively investigated by numerous experts in the last decade. Some models and approaches have been constructed to the purposes of developing individuals’ competency in intercultural communication context. However, some problems occurred due to cultural discrepancy. The purpose of this study is to explore strategies being used by Indonesian postgraduates’ students to be inter-culturally and communicatively competent. Interviews session (adopted from Fantini’s conceptual framework) with sixteen Indonesian students have been conducted to scrutinise their personal experienced and awareness in intercultural communication setting. Despite the fact that the existences of cultural diversity in inner circle countries, Indonesian students have attempted to exposure more in intercultural interaction. They converged themselves with other international students as well as with locals in the community. From a critical perspective, this study suggested that Indonesian students should attempt to shift out from their ‘very own’ circle. Equally significant, to be more open to initiate more deep conversation and involve in a more interactive, intercultural communication settings, with other students from different countries.

This study used Bennett’s (1986, 1993) model of ethnorelative typology of acceptance, adaptation, and integration to explore intercultural communication competency. Central to intercultural communication competency is intercultural sensitivity and modified perceptions of cultural differences. A pre-test/post-test open-ended questionnaire design was utilized to uncover what was learned by students while participating in a four-week summer study-abroad program in Paris and Brussels. Based on 110 participants over 16 years, results indicated that both sensitivity to and understanding of cultural differences are heightened as a result of the study-abroad experience. Further, these findings provided support for outcomes showing attainment of intercultural communication competency learning objectives.

Constructing the learning outcomes and designing the optimal learning environment are valuable practices in teaching and learning endeavors. Doing so for intercultural learning requires a deft balance of learner inputs and instructional acumen. Assessment of intercultural competence is an essential component since it offers
learners and instructors insights on where students are, where they wish to grow, and the success of treatment
outcomes. In this study of practice, we examine three years of pre-post mixed-method intercultural assessment data, along with teaching and learning practices and outcomes, to gain insights into how this work of instructional design for intercultural competence can succeed. We also provide suggestions for improvements. The learners were 203 MBA students from the U.S. Pacific Northwest who were enrolled in either a short-term study abroad program or a “glocal” learning experience course. Learners were assessed using the Inter
cultural Effectiveness Scale (IES) and the AAC&U VALUE Rubric on Intercultural Knowledge and Competency (IKAC). Results support the criticality of intentional instructional course design based on intercultural assessment data for improved intercultural competency development.

Abstract One of the long-term aims of the European Union is to incorporate intercultural education into lessons in foreign languages. However, studies have shown that teachers of foreign languages often do not know what intercultural teaching involves and are themselves not interculturally competent. The aim of an elective course Intercultural training in a teacher training study program is to develop students’ intercultural communicative competences (ICC) and to teach them various teaching techniques and activities for the development of ICC. An activity for this intervention is called Aliens, where students were creating their planets (cultures) with sociocultural and historical foundations and sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of their newly developed cultures. Four lessons focused on intercultural topics such as greetings, addressing, non-verbal communication, small talk, punctuality, diversity, etc. were conducted before the intervention. The main aim of this intervention was to develop intercultural communicative competences (awareness, sociocultural knowledge, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences) and positive attitudes towards difference and respect for other cultures. The intervention was conducted via four-step action research and it was evaluated as very successful, as students were able to reflect on their own and other cultures, and showed open-mindedness, curiosity, and acceptance toward foreign cultures.

During the past decade the interest of scientists in multiculturalism has increased significantly, as the need for the development of intercultural competency has become more explicitly manifested in the work environment of organizations. In Lithuania the analysis of intercultural competency is still quite a new research area and is conducted intermittently, i.e. only certain aspects related to intercultural competency are analysed. This article analyses various scientific approaches to the phenomenon of interculturalism and tendencies of its manifestation in the organizational environment. The authors present an empirical research which involved nearly half a thousand respondents (N=464) from the capital public institutions and small municipalities of Lithuania employees who work primarily in the public sector. The survey questionnaire allows to assess skills of intercultural competency, the geography and frequency of intercultural communication, dimensions of competencies of employees in Lithuanian organizations, etc. and to establish the problems characteristic of the competency development. Based on the obtained data the authors of the article establish the problems characteristic of the development of intercultural competence in Lithuanian organizations and provide an overview of future perspectives.

Communicating across cultural difference is a challenge for the mining industry as its attempts to gain social licence to operate in the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples. Industry organizations affirm their intention to respect communities and to develop mutually beneficial relationships, but because an understanding of culture is not a part of the mining engineer’s expertise, this goal cannot be fully realized. The undergraduate mining curriculum could address this deficiency through a critical study of culture and development of the dialogic communication skills associated with intercultural competence.
Arguing that the epistemology of engineering is problematic in the cultural encounter, this paper examines, the ways in which disciplinary culture is transmitted and mechanisms for cultural change. With the objective of producing interculturally competent mining engineers, it outlines application of critical theories to deconstruct the hegemony of engineering knowledge and of communication theories to support a culturally-competent and effective approach to knowledges.

Full textAbstract:
As knowledge of English becomes a priority for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a modern military specialist is faced with a number of requirements, one of which is the formation of professionally oriented intercultural competence. Thus, a cadet, who has a certain conceptual and terminological apparatus in his/her specialization, has the opportunity to test his/her own knowledge and skills, to provide self-analysis of the level of formation of both intercultural and subject competences, as well as to receive an impartial feedback from foreign experts on the readiness for professional activity.
The article considers the main notions that reveal the conceptual field of intercultural competence. The concepts of "competence", "competency", "culture", "intercultural competence" are defined and their historical-comparative analysis is carried out. It is found, that the professional training of cadets is carried out as a complex pedagogical influence, which has the purpose of developing a number of competences, among which the priority is currently considered to be intercultural competence. The essence of the concept of "competence" and variations of its interpretation by scientists, as well as differentiation with the concept of "competency", are clarified. The role of the humanities in general and the foreign language in particular in the development of professional competences of military specialists is noted.
The generic function of the competence approach, which combines many traditional approaches, is mentioned. Intercultural competence is presented as a system of interconnected elements that position the personality in interaction with society through communication, which, in turn, is a means of adapting to the cultural values of society and acquiring educational competences to form a qualified graduate of a higher military educational institution.
The hierarchy of competences is defined, which consists of three levels: general, special and professional, which are represented by integral, general and professional competences, respectively

El Pueblo Gitano es uno de los sectores de las sociedades europeas más afectados por la exclusión social y las desigualdades en salud. En este estudio cualitativo se han analizado las claves para mejorar las competencias interculturales en la atención a la población gitana desde los servicios de salud. Se han realizado 29 entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales sociales y sanitarios y 67 a pacientes de etnia gitana. En los resultados se vislumbran dos modelos contrapuestos (modelo de apertura versus modelo de bloqueo), hilvanados en torno a discursos y prácticas como la conciencia intercultural, la mirada integral, las actitudes empáticas, la humanización de la atención, la construcción de alianzas o la proactividad. Las claves para el desarrollo de la competencia intercultural, presentadas en este artículo, pueden ser de utilidad para el diseño de actuaciones formativas y de adaptación intercultural de los recursos.
