Sažetak
The paper deals with intercultural component of communicative competence. Intercultural ability is often more important than the language when talking about "survival" in another culture and acceptance in society. Since some studies have shown that about 55% of the information was transmitted by the nonverbal way, it is given a brief overview of the verbal and non-verbal intercultural communication. Capabilities that are characterized by intercultural speakers are also specified. The development of intercultural competence in the teaching of second and foreign language is a complex and highly demanding job. The paper presents three approaches for teaching other cultures: a framework (ie. NAPI-KEPRA), process and ethnographic approach. In addition is presented a practical intercultural communication textbook Mirrors and Windows of the European Centre for Modern Languages in Graz, which offers a description of the numerous intercultural activities and materials for the development of intercultural competence. Finally, it is noted that education that includes intercultural understanding occupies a central place in the activities of the Council of Europe so the teachers should be familiar with the materials and international organizations in which they can find plenty of simple and practical advices as well as answers to frequently asked questions. To intercultural component of communicative competence should be devoted much more time on all levels of teaching second and foreign language than it is usually devoted.
