Abstract
There has been a growing consensus regarding the necessity to alter English language teaching methods to accommodate deeper understanding and respect for other cultures (Richards & Rogers, 2014). Media, with its diverse forms and accessibility, presents a powerful tool for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in developing students' English language proficiency. This chapter investigates the use of media in improving students' intercultural competence. Drawing upon the Intercultural Communicative Competence model proposed by Byram (1997), this research focuses on how EFL teachers at a university in Vietnam incorporated media into their teaching practices. The study employed in-depth interviews with eight EFL teachers and examined their lesson plans, syllabi, and textbooks. The findings provide valuable insights into the pedagogical approaches employed by EFL teachers, shedding light on their preferred media types, and obstacles they encountered in the process of enhancing students' intercultural competence by using media.
