Abstract:
Questa tesi analizza il ruolo centrale che ha la competenza comunicativa interculturale negli scambi comunicativi. Attraverso l'analisi delle sue diverse componenti si mette in luce il fatto che essa è indispensabile e che possedere solo una buona competenza linguistica, in una lingua, non sia sufficiente per raggiungere una buona comunicazione. Sono mostrati infatti alcuni dei possibili problemi che possono nascere se non si pone sufficiente attenzione alle diversità culturali e quindi ai processi mentali che un individuo possiede, dovuti alla sua cultura. Si spiega anche la rilevanza della c

Today's world demands that learners are not simply linguistically but also interculturally competent.

Intercultural competence (IC) as an essential part of conceptualization of the cultural dimension in FLT has been promoted by educationalists as the most preferred type of competence.

This can be due to the fact that teachers do not have sufficient knowledge of the theory behind the concept and consequently, have difficulties to implement the curriculum requirements with regards to IC into their teaching

Post-Soviet Ukraine is in a time of upheaval and transition. Internal relations between pro-Western and pro-Russian supporters have deteriorated in the light of recent political events of Euro Revolution, Russia’s occupation of the Crimean peninsula, and the militant confrontations in the southeastern regions of the country.
