Abstract

English language teaching has inevitably developed towards
intercultural communication especially in countries where English language is
not a native language. The globalization of the world, the immigration of people
in Europe and overseas and the diverse nature of many societies have caused the
ICC to become a trend not only in the field of ELT but also in other disciplines
such as: business and economy, communication, art, marketing etc. The idea of
intercultural communication is to break down the barriers among people of
different cultures by learning and appreciating each culture, avoid stereotypes
and accept every culture as it is. Intercultural communication cognition of
English language teachers is necessary in the English classroom because it is
about the ability of teachers to incorporate intercultural communication
knowledge, attitudes and awareness towards other cultures. Intercultural
communication is becoming essential part of the education system nowadays
because of globalization, immigration and the multicultural work environments.
The need for training, knowledge and research in this field is increasing because
of the recent trends in education.
