Abstract

The essential elements of intercultural competence are the active awareness of ourselves as a complex cultural being and the effect that our culture has on the way of thinking and acting; awareness of our ability to communicate with others, and to explore the invisible opinions and beliefs that define someone's behavior and goals; the development of readiness to try different ways of thinking and doing things. Intercultural competence gives people the ability to find different perspectives on reality, which makes it more likely to develop a common understanding and collaborative action.
Key words: intercultural communication, English language teaching, awareness, sensitivity.
