DIAGNOSTICS AND ASSESSMENT OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Abstract
The shift from the knowledge - based to the competence
- based educational model became one of the urgent issues in educational systems
worldwide. As the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is considered as
one of the main goals in foreign language acquisition, the learning process should
also embody intercultural learning. Therefore it is important for the teacher
to track his\her students’ progress in becoming interculturally competent: how
effective and appropriate they can communicate. The aim of this paper is to present a brief
overview of research on diagnostics and assessment of intercultural
communicative competence.
