This article focuses on the incidence of learning knowledge technologies and the content learning integrated language approach in the development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC). ICC is considered a relevant competence for the 21st century in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages and the integral development of students. This research arose from the need to complement the development of communicative skills in English students from the UCEVA Language Department of the municipality of Tulua. With the aim of developing intercultural competence in 32 students of English level 2 of Teens and Adults programs. In order to promote the recognition, respect, and acceptance of cultural diversity and the enrichment of cultural identity through interaction, and socialization with others in different situations and contexts. To carry out this quantitative study, with a quasi-experimental design, the “ICC skill to 21st-century” test was applied as a pre-test and post-test to identify and evaluate the level of development of intercultural communicative competence in the participants. Also, the didactic unit “Beyond my thoughts” framed in the use of LKT tools and the CLIL approach was implemented and the descriptive frequency and independent samples techniques of the SPSS v.20 were used to analyze the data obtained. As a result, the statistical analysis showed that there were no significant incidents in the development of intercultural communicative competence, therefore the null hypothesis was accepted. While the descriptive results reflected that the implementation of the didactic unit generated an impact on the development of this 21st-century skill given that intercultural communicative competence involves both the dimensions of people and those experiences that they live. Therefore, its evaluation is not limited to tests but to the analysis and reflection that students make of their process sequentially when facing their reality.

The City

As a higher education institution that highlights the 21st education, Sampoerna University has encouraged the lecturers to do projects that give students opportunities to develop skills needed in Industry 4.0 so they can participate in global competition. Besides having the skills, the students must also have Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) to be able to participate in the competition and by knowing the importance of the skills and the competence, students of Sampoerna University participated in a collaborative project with students from Malmo University in Sweden. The project encouraged learners to develop their critical, creative and digital skills by collaboratively studying the city as text. The focus was on critical multiliteracy and the promotion of intercultural communicative competence through first-hand experiences of virtual exchange in cross-cultural groups. The objectives of this research are to find out how Intercultural City Stories project applies the elements of Intercultural Communicative Competence, to analyze how Intercultural Communicative Competence gives impacts for Cross Cultural Understanding, to observe how the digital outcome of multimodal narratives improves the understanding of Intercultural Communicative Competence and digital literacy and to identify the reasons why Intercultural Communicative Competence plays important roles in 21st century education and in literacy.

Classroom practice around the globe has changed considerably due to the global pandemic. Although ICT (information and communication technology) is at the heart of 21st century teaching and learning, many teachers and students had to make significant adjustments shifting from face-to-face to remote (online) delivery in response to lockdowns and government restrictions since March 2020. This paper focuses on one focal question: ‘What were some of the concerns using ICT during Covid-19 pandemic?’ which was part of a wider Australian study ‘Re-imaging the future: music teaching and learning, and ICT in blended environments in Australia’. The authors seek to understand how music teachers look to employ technology in ways that connect teaching frameworks to 21st century classroom practice. As part of the ongoing study, they present preliminary survey data gathered between March–June 2021 from a range of music teachers around the country. Using thematic analysis, they discuss advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and challenges in relation to responses that thematically relate three key elements: pedagogy, social interaction, and technology. They identify concerns and call on music educators to reset what, how, and why they teach when using technology to develop 21st century competencies, as the future of schooling continues to change its landscape due to the pandemic.

Emerging Issues

ABSTRACT 21st Century Skills has attracted the attention of various education experts, practitioners, school management, teachers and educational managers in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia. A number of activities in terms of seminars and workshops have been held by a wide range of institutions to address this framework in terms of how to align it to the curriculum and how to integrate it into classroom activities. Regarding communication skills, Partnership for 21st Century Skills defines 21st Century Communication Skills – among the other five definitions – as communicating effectively in diverse environments (including multilingual and multicultural). Realizing that this framework was developed in the American context for their national education purposes, it is imperative for various parties, including teachers and practitioners of English as a Foreign Language, to contextualize it by considering both local and regional contexts. As a minute contribution to the effort of contextualizing the framework, this paper will address some emerging issues in developing the instructional materials framed by the pedagogy of English as an International Language and Intercultural Communicative Competence. ABSTRAK Keterampilan Abad ke-21 telah menarik perhatian beragam kalangan dari pakar pendidikan, praktisi, pengelola sekolah, guru sampai para manajer institusi pendidikan di negara-negara ASEAN, termasuk Indonesia. Serangkaian kegiatan termasuk seminar dan workshop telah diselenggarakan oleh berbagai institusi untuk membedah kerangka kerja ini dalam  hal Tentang keterampilan berkomunikasi, Partnership for 21st Century Skills mendefinisikan  keterampilan Komunikasi Abad ke-21 -di antara lima definisi lainnya– sebagai kemampuan berkomunikasi secara efektif di berbagai lingkungan (termasuk multibahasa dan multikultural). Menyadari bahwa kerangka kerja ini dikembangkan dalam konteks Amerika untuk tujuan pendidikan nasional mereka, maka sangatlah penting bagi berbagai pihak, termasuk guru dan praktisi bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing, untuk mengkontekstualisasikannya dengan mempertimbangkan konteks lokal dan regional. Sebagai kontribusi kecil terhadap upaya kontekstualisasi tersebut, tulisan ini akan membahas beberapa isu yang muncul dalam pengembangan bahan ajar yang dibingkai oleh pedagogi Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Internasional dan Kompetensi Komunikasi Antar-budaya.

The Creation

Since the early ’80s the adjective "intercultural" in language learning and teaching has seemed to acquire a remarkable importance, although its meaning is strongly debated. As a matter of fact, despite the existence of a vast literature on this topic, difficulties arise when applying it in the classroom. The aim of this work is to analyze the elements we consider to be the central pillars in this methodology, i.e. a renewed language-and culture relation, the Intercultural Communicative Competence, the intercultural speaker. These factors allow us to consider this as a new paradigm in language education; furthermore, they foster the creation of new potentialities and configure the classroom as a significant learning environment towards the discovery of Otherness.
