Teaching Intercultural Communicative Competence in Business Classes

Summary/Abstract: Teaching a foreign language goes beyond teaching the language itself. Language is rooted in culture; it reflects customs and sets of values that people display when they speak. So, in the context of globalisation, teaching a foreign language involves the intercultural communicative competence as a key component, essential for communicating effectively with people belonging to various cultures, which helps one better understand one's own culture. Teaching intercultural communicative competence to our students of Business English is all the more important today, with business going more and more international as an immediate consequence of the recent European integration and as a general consequence of the broader phenomenon of globalisation.
