IC (Intercultural Communication)

Intercultural Communication (IC) refers to the exchange of information and ideas between individuals from different cultural backgrounds. In language education, developing intercultural communication skills is essential for effective interaction in a globalized world. IC involves understanding cultural differences, being aware of one's own cultural biases, and using language appropriately in diverse contexts. Teaching IC includes incorporating cultural content, fostering open-mindedness, and promoting empathy and respect for different perspectives. Enhancing intercultural communication skills helps learners navigate cross-cultural interactions and build meaningful relationships.
