Multilingual and intercultural communication

Table of contents
Multilingual and intercultural communication (MICC) are seen as part of academic expertise. They can be seen as a condition for internationalization but also as its goal. Competence can be divided into different areas (motivation and the ethical dimensions of communication, knowledge and skills), all of which in their own way influence whether an individual's interaction can be considered both effective and appropriate in a given situation and context. No matter how good and skilled a person is in a certain situation, it doesn't guarantee the same level of proficiency in a different situation or context. Becoming multilingually and interculturally competent is a process and at its core is lifelong learning - you can never be completely ready.
Multilingual and intercultural competence consists of knowledge, skills and attitudes. They relate to the way of viewing the world and understanding competence development as a lifelong process. That is what Moving Mindsets is about.
