Abstract
This chapter aims to provide educators, researchers, and policy makers with an in-depth exploration of diverse methods for evaluating intercultural competence in foreign language learners. Through the discussion of some common theoretical models of intercultural competence and relevant assessment approaches, the chapter focuses on case studies and examples from Intercultural Communication courses in eight foreign languages at Eastland University (a pseudonym) – a prestigious Vietnamese university. The analysis indicates that assessing intercultural competence necessitates understanding its multifaceted nature, adopting a theoretical model to align teaching, learning and assessing activities, and recognizing the limitations of traditional methods. By employing innovative strategies such as mixed methods approaches, technology-mediated simulations, and longitudinal evaluations, educators can more effectively gauge students' intercultural skills and foster their development as culturally competent global citizens.
