Moeller, Aleidine J.; Osborn, Sarah R. Faltin
Foreign Language Annals, v47 n4 p669-683 Win 2014
This article analyzes and synthesizes the major theoretical frameworks for building intercultural communicative competency (ICC) within the domain of the foreign language classroom. Researchers used a pragmatist orientation as a venue for the translation of theoretical models into usable, accessible guidelines for classroom teachers in order to provide a deeper understanding and clarity of ICC and its implementation in the language classroom.
