Die vorliegende Hausarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Interkulturelle Kommunikative Kompetenz. In den Ausführungen wird zunächst eine Definition gegeben und anschließend dargelegt, was die Ziele dieses Ansatzes sind, inwiefern er im schulischen Kontext umgesetzt wird und welche Chancen und Grenzen er bietet. Ferner wird darauf eingegangen, warum dieser Ansatz in einem erfolgreichen Fremdsprachenunterricht nicht fehlen darf und was geschieht, wenn der Unterricht nicht nach diesem Ansatz strukturiert ist. Insgesamt wird in dieser Hausarbeit aufgezeigt, dass Interkulturelles Lernen und die Kommunikative Kompetenz untrennbar sind und als Grundlage für den Englischunterricht dienen müssen. Nur so können Schüler das Gelernte auch außerhalb des schulischen Kontexts anwenden, was grundsätzlich Ziel eines jeden Unterrichts sein sollte.
