ABSTRACT

This article focused on the application of ethnography as a qualitative study in developing non-English majors’ intercultural communication competence (ICC). The PEER model guided student researchers through the interdependent phrases of preparing, engaging, evaluating and reflecting in the research procedure. In addition, the four components of Byram’s ICC model, namely, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and critical awareness, were used to assess students’ ICC development.
