Daftar Isi:
- The function of English teaching in the 21st century is to prepare learners to be successfully engaged with a global milieu in intercultural settings. However this situation remains challenging for EFL teachers worldwide. It was evidenced by numbers of studies showing that EFL teachers are not well-prepared to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL classrooms. It becomes crucial to find out the possible cause of their unpreparedness to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL lessons. This study was thus carried out to record Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers rsquo perceived understandings of intercultural communicative competence and how they reflect its implementation during their teaching practicum program. It employed a survey using an electronic questionnaire which in total consisted of 31 questions. The participants of the study were 106 alumni of and undergraduate students of ELT from six different universities in Indonesia. The results from the questionnaire were then complemented with the results of the interview obtained from selected participants. The findings showed that participants demonstrated an excellent understanding of ICC elements yet they did not frequently implement ICC-related teaching activities in EFL teaching. Besides the minimal integration of intercultural teaching was possibly due to some external factors such as restricted time curriculum and students rsquo different proficiency.
