Abstract:

This book explores the idea of 'intercultural competence', which, despite its 
current popularity across various discourses, has remained a vague and 
oscillating concept. Interculture lacks a universal definition and
'competence' is not only a cognitive construct but also includes
psychological traits such as attitudes, affective aspects and constructions
of identity. 

The essays in this  volume approach the complexity of the concept from a
number of different  angles. These include theoretical models for defining
the concept of 'intercultural competence', outlining paths for future
research; application of the concept in the teaching and learning of
foreign languages, cultures and literatures; exploration of institutional
and sociocultural influences on mediating intercultural competence; and
analysis of the concept's impact on such diverse contexts as international
business, religious constructs and notions of selfhood and identity. 

The volume develops a broad range of perspectives on intercultural 
competence, providing stimulating new ideas, reflections and models around 
this important concept.
