Despite its ongoing popularity across various discourses, «intercultural competence» has remained a necessarily vague and oscillating concept that lends itself to continual rethinking and redefinition. The essays in this volume approach the complexity of the concept from a number of different angles. The essays range from theoretical considerations of redefining and expanding the concept in terms of hitherto neglected dimensions and ideas; critically contextualising issues of assessing intercultural competence; analysing the virtual dimension of intercultural competence for the development of critical digital pedagogies; application of the concept for the teaching and learning of foreign\/second languages, including for migrant learners; the impact of study abroad on developing intercultural and democratic literacy; analysis of the concept in classroom practice across different cultures; and querying the concept for its lack of teachability. The volume develops a broad range of new perspectives on intercultural competence, providing stimulating new ideas, considerations and reflections around this oscillating, yet relevant concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents: Arnd Witte\/Theo Harden: Intercultural Competence – Introduction – Arnd Witte: The Sentient Body and Intercultural Situational Attentiveness – Rob Philburn: Intercultural Competence as «Construalistic» Expressivity – Linda Huber: Intercultural Communicative Competence in the Language Education Context – a Floating Signifier – Beatriz Hernández- Moreno: Intercultural Competence and Its Assessment: A Critical Contextualisation – Theo Harden: Intercultural Competence: The Windmills of Foreign Language Teaching – Hans- Jürgen Heringer: Hotwords as a Didactic Vehicle to Intercultural Competence? – Margit Krause-Ono\/Sylvia Wächter: Ill Weeds Never Die – Marta Giralt, Liam Murray\/Silvia Benini: Is IC Missing Some of the Core Elements of Language Education?
