Abstract:
Intercultural approach involves stepping out of conventional teaching and learning of a foreign language, which is not limited to the grammatical, functional and cultural contents, as while that knowledge is developed, a set of values and attitudes are also formed and they have the aim to shape not only multilingual but intercultural intermediaries as well. Therefore, learning a language means more than the acquisition of language skills and certain grammatical structures. Thus, intercultural competence is part of a wider communicative competence possessed by a multilingual and identifies his ability to act in an appropriate, flexible manner to meet the expectations of interlocutors-carriers of other cultures and to be able to respond to actions and attitudes that they undertake in the communication process. This flexibility and adaptation to current realities involve the knowledge of cultural diversity and their own culture as well as the target language and culture due to the ability to provide solutions in resolving intercultural issues arising from intercultural differences.
