Intercultural communication is defined as situated
communication between individuals or groups of different linguistic and
cultural origins. This is derived from the following fundamental definitions:
communication is the active relationship established between people through
language, and intercultural means that this communicative relationship is
between people of different cultures, where culture is the structured
manifestation of human behaviour in social life within specific national and
local contexts, such as political, linguistic, economic, institutional, and
professional. Intercultural communication is identified as both a concept and a
competence. Intercultural competence is the active possession by individuals of
qualities which contribute to effective intercultural communication and can be
defined in terms of three primary attributes: knowledge, skills and attitudes.
In the context of this document, the acquisition of skills and human attributes
likely to enhance intercultural communication is viewed exclusively as a
component of language programmes, that is as an accompaniment to the practical
acquisition of language itself.
