Assessment of intercultural competence

Post by jeff79 » Mon Nov 28, 2005 12:37 am

Hi everyone.

I'm doing some research on the assessment of intercultural competence but so far I haven't been able to find much information. Does anyone know of any good sources on this topic? I would also be interested in hearing about any techniques you have used to assess intercultural competence, communication skills, awareness etc.

Try (if you haven't already) looking through the following professional journals:

1. Language Testing
2. Language in Society
3. TESOL Quarterly

You could also look for the following authors:

1. Bachman
2. Nunnan

hope this helps a bit

go to google and click on "more." Then, click on "scholar." This will take you to google's article search engine. Then, type in a few search terms. This will (hopefully) identify the main researchers in the field.
