ABSTRACT

In the plurilingual and multicultural contemporary international setting, the educational systems opt for successfully meeting as well as adapting to the rapid social, economic, and technological changes. Based on the premise that intercultural communicative competence holds a significant potential for foreign language instruction, focus should throw into combining teachers’ intercultural knowledge with pedagogy and technology. The prospect of introducing intercultural material within the context of teaching scenarios in the curricula of a technology-enhanced foreign language learning environment where the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) approach is implemented, can positively contribute to the teaching process. Under this perspective, cultural and digitally competent teachers can create a framework which will enable learners to fully develop their interactive and linguistic skills and to effectively communicate in a foreign language promoting its social and multicultural dimension whatever the intercultural context. 

KEYWORDS
