In the field of language education, intercultural communicative
competence has become a widely used concept. But what is
intercultural communicative competence? Although the term is often
understood as universally applicable, it comes with manifold
nuances. The ambiguity ranges from underlying definitions to
corresponding competences, forms of assessment and their
operationalisation. Furthermore, an empirical foundation for models
of intercultural competence is scarce. This book presents the
findings of a qualitative research study on the views of language
students, and critically analyses the speculative components of
intercultural communicative competence regarding their feasibility
in the study abroad context. It is argued that the notion
represents a contingent and hegemonial interpretive scheme
(Deutungsmuster), a floating signifier, which needs to be amended
for particular circumstances. The critical reflection on
intercultural competence in the light of real-life examples may
serve as an incentive for an alternative approach to intercultural
competence in foreign language teaching and contribute valuable
information to the preparation of training sessions before a stay
abroad.
