Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present article is an overview of existing instruments for measuring intercultural competence. The wide variety of instruments is due to focus on different aspects of intercultural competence in the design of each of them and the lack of a unified notion as to the components of intercultural competence. The majority of instruments for measuring intercultural competence are oriented towards teamwork in international corporations, which defines their characteristic features. Since they are not directly applicable in FLT, an instrument based on Byram's model of intercultural competence is more suitable.
