From teaching culture to measuring cultural intelligence

Abstract EN

As the global demand on culturally intelligent individual rise, teaching English should be reconsidered on how it is introduced to our student.

language proficiency should not only include modalities of the language, as it is required to test the cultural awareness and consciousness of our students.

the diversified world obliges teachers to not only focus on the lexis and grammar accuracy at the expense of the cultural knowledge that the student will face in their daily lives.

showing good language skills does not necessarily mean a good communicator, however, a culturally intelligent learner is likely to show good communicative skills.

the way culture has been dealt with and taught showed a passive and neutral pattern.

therefore, this research paper will cast light of the importance of incorporating cultural intelligence beside teaching culture and langue.
