Abstract
Globalization has brought additional communicative challenges to professionals in work fields. These challenges exist side by side with the process of doing business in a foreign language, especially in a multicultural working environment. By adopting a critical intercultural approach in the ESP context, it is expected that future Algerian engineers will successfully interact with individuals from different cultures and increase their employability. Accordingly, the present paper's aim is to propose a learning paradigm for promoting critical intercultural competence via the medium of ESP course. Contrary to the prevailing assumption that the main purpose of ESP courses is to meet learners' linguistic needs, the author thinks that it may also serve the purpose of promoting critical thinking and intercultural competence. Therefore, drawing on the existing literature, this paper addresses the issues of learners' intellectual and intercultural competences in ESP settings.
