Developing intercultural competence of pupils using authentic materials
Abstract
AbstractThis article discusses the importance of computer in teaching pupils, materials and methods of intercultural communicative competence and also teaching aids for the development of ICC. Consequently, foreign language teachers are often confused and do not know which aspects of culture to teach, what materials to use and what teaching techniques to use with the aim of developing intercultural communicative competences of their learners. They vary from culture to culture and can cause great misunderstandings if perceived or performed inappropriately. There are a lot of materials that could be used in teaching culture. Several English language textbooks offer materials developing ICC in separate parts called cultural pages. Furthermore, English language teachers can develop their creativity when designing and adapting material to promote more learning of the target language and its use.
