It is widely believed that culture plays significant role in foreign language
teaching and learning. A huge quantity of researches and experiments have been
done in this field so far. It has been widely recognized that language is a main
mean through which culture is uttered. It is also believed that students cannot fully
use the language efficiently even though being aware of its grammar rules and
having enough knowledge in vocabulary. Such knowledge which we call “pure
information” is beneficial, however does not lead learners’ insight of a certain
language. Therefore, the development of students’ cultural awareness and
intercultural communicative competence leads them to better critical thinking and
further improvement in their target language knowledge. There are many
methodologies of developing learners’ intercultural competence, but none of them
is effective until elements of it are not fully considered. Thus, the present article
seeks to review the elements of intercultural communicative competence, as well
as possible approaches that can be used for teaching it.
