Intercultural Competence in English Language Teaching for Global Citizenship
Abstract
In today's globalized world, English Language Teaching (ELT) must go beyond linguistic competence to foster Intercultural Competence (IC). This chapter explores key frameworks Byram's “savoirs,” Deardorff's Pyramid Model, Bennett's DMIS, and Kramsch's “third place”—to illustrate how IC can be embedded into ELT. Effective instruction requires not just language skills but also empathy, adaptability, and cultural awareness. The chapter discusses practical strategies such as project-based learning, virtual exchanges, and critical incident analysis, as well as challenges like assessment and cultural resistance. It calls for integrating IC into curricula, teacher training, and evaluation to prepare globally competent learners.
