  • Integrating intercultural competence into ELT
    Šabec, Nada
    This article focuses on the significance of integrating cultural knowledge into ELT. Culture is presented as an integral part of language which often determines the way we perceive reality. These ... perceptions may differ partiallyor completely across cultures, which is why intercultural communication frequently results in misunderstandings. One area in which such problems are extremely common are speech acts. The use of compliments in English and Slovene is discussed in order to illustrate the difficulties facing non-native speakers. It is concluded that developing cultural competence is essential to successful ELT and that such teaching not only helps students communicate more effectively and appropriately, but that it also raises their level of tolerance toward others and contributes to a higher level of intercultural awareness
