Abstract

In today’s interconnected world, cross-cultural competence has become an essential component of effective communication, particularly for learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Language and culture are inextricably linked, and fostering students’ awareness of cultural norms, values, and communication styles enhances both linguistic proficiency and intercultural understanding. This article explores how English language instruction can be designed to promote cross-cultural competence by incorporating a linguocultural approach. It outlines the significance of integrating cultural content in the language classroom, examines practical methods for doing so, and highlights the challenges teachers may face. Drawing from educational theory and classroom-based experiences, the paper advocates for a balanced model of language teaching that simultaneously develops communicative competence and cultural awareness. Ultimately, fostering cross-cultural competence prepares students for global citizenship and supports more meaningful and respectful international interactions.
