The integration of Intercultural Communication Pedagogy (ICP) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction plays a vital role in fostering not only linguistic and cultural understanding, but also the development of intercultural citizenship. In the Indonesian higher education context, the incorporation of ICP in courses that emphasize Critical Thinking (CT) and English Debate (ED) remains limited. However, these components hold significant potential for preparing learners to become active, reflective, and engaged citizens in a globalized world. This study aims to explore how CT and ED are taught in an Indonesian EFL classroom through the lens of ICP, with a particular focus on how these practices contribute to the formation of intercultural citizenship. Employing a survey-based approach, data will be collected through document analysis (syllabi and lesson plans), questionnaires, and interviews. Participants will include twenty-one student teachers and one course instructor. The analysis will be guided by the Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) framework—comprising knowledge, attitude, and skills—to examine how instructional strategies support students in developing the critical awareness, empathy, and responsibility essential to intercultural citizenship. The study is expected to offer practical insights into how EFL pedagogy can move beyond language proficiency to foster a sense of global responsibility and active participation across cultures.

Public speaking is one of the common issues in the EFL context but is not limited to the student teachers in Indonesia. To better understand this matter, 15 in-depth interviews and questionnaires were carried out among student teachers in a private university in Indonesia. The research integrates Byram’s model of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) to examine how knowledge, attitude, and skills of interpreting and navigating aspects of cultures influence English public speaking anxiety among them. The findings show that linguistic insecurities, fear of negative evaluation, and psychological stress are the predominant issues impacting students’ public speaking skills at the university level. In this sense, the study reveals that students’ intercultural communicative competence (ICC) plays a significant role in moderating their anxiety, where higher ICC correlates with lower anxiety levels. Psycholinguistic factors such as negative self-perception, lack of confidence, and concerns over cultural miscommunication also significantly contribute to the fear of English public speaking. The findings implicate that enhancing communication education with integrated ICC components and fostering supportive, culturally sensitive learning environments could mitigate this anxiety, potentially improving students’ English public speaking performance. Further research engaging a wider population is necessary for policy formulation, which might facilitate the culture learning in public speaking among students of all educational levels.

This study aims to explore how self-efficacy in intercultural communication was constructed by an Indonesian Ph.D. student in the United States through academic and social experiences. A narrative inquiry design was employed to capture lived experiences and meaning-making processes in intercultural adaptation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, self-recorded conversations, and researcher notes, with triangulation applied to ensure validity. Thematic analysis indicated that intercultural challenges, including communication barriers and cultural differences, were navigated through adaptive strategies, reflective practices, and support from academic and community networks. The findings suggest that self-efficacy is a dynamic process, strengthened through mastery experiences and social reinforcement. This study emphasizes the need for reflective learning opportunities and empathetic institutional support to enhance international students' intercultural competence.

Purpose: This study reports on the intervention of technology-enhanced language learning in an extensive listening class to promote intercultural awareness. Methods: The nature of the present study was exploratory as the recruited students were engaged in virtual language learning tasks through different online platforms, such as zoom meetings, podcasts, Padlet, and other online listening resources (ESL Fast, BBC Learning English, voice tube, and news in level). A phenomenological case study was adopted to investigate the intervention of technology-enhanced language learning to promote intercultural awareness perceived through the participants’ perspective. Data were garnered through analysis with interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) from questionnaires and interviews. Findings: The learners’ intercultural awareness was perceived to enhance during the experiences of extensive listening mediated by technology. Generally, they respond positively to intercultural incidents within various topics of intercultural listening. Research Implications: This study contributes to the research on technology-enhanced intercultural learning with extensive listening activity in EFL teaching. In this sense, the students teachers’ perceptions of intercultural awareness development during technology-mediated extensive listening, rather than providing intervention effectiveness. Originality: The present study investigates the intervention of language learning technology to promote intercultural awareness in EL class. Furthermore, the language learners’ responses to various online listening platforms concerning intercultural topics are also discussed.

Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has brought about transformative changes in how learners develop intercultural communicative competence (ICC). This systematic literature review examines how AI-mediated language production and adaptive feedback mechanisms reshape ICC among EFL learners. Following PRISMA guidelines, this study analysed 35 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025. The review focuses on ELT-relevant dimensions, including automated writing evaluation, generative AI in language learning, and AI-mediated cross-cultural exchange. Findings indicate that AI facilitates ICC by providing real-time adaptive feedback that helps learners negotiate cultural nuances and linguistic norms. The study concludes that AI serves as a "cultural mediator," offering a triadic interaction model that enhances learners' knowledge, skills, and attitudes in intercultural settings.

This study aimed to investigate how university students use ChatGPT throughout the English writing process and how AI-assisted interaction influences their writing revisions. Using a qualitative inquiry, the study involved 30 university students who had used ChatGPT for English writing tasks at least three times. Data were collected asynchronously through pre- and post-ChatGPT writing drafts, structured reflection journals, prompt logs, and written follow-up responses from selected participants, and were analyzed thematically with triangulation to enhance trustworthiness. The findings revealed that students mainly used ChatGPT during the revising and editing stages rather than for idea generation. They engaged critically with AI-generated suggestions by selectively accepting or modifying them to preserve their own voice, examples, and contextual relevance. Draft comparisons showed an average increase of 14.3% in essay length, along with more developed sentences and conclusions, reflecting improvements in grammar, vocabulary, and organization. These findings suggest that ChatGPT functions as a supportive revision tool rather than a replacement for students' writing and provide implications for integrating generative AI into English writing instruction while promoting AI literacy and responsible AI use in higher education.

Reflective practice holds significant importance in teacher education as it allows educators to assess their teaching experiences critically and enhance their professional skills (Diseth, 2025). This research seeks to investigate how English pre-service teachers experience reflective practice through video and transcript-based self-observation during their teaching practicum. This investigation utilized a qualitative research framework employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to delve into the lived experiences of participants regarding video-aided reflection. The study involved six English pre-service teachers participating in a three-month practicum at a senior high school located in Indonesia. Data collection included video observations of the participants' teaching practices followed by comprehensive semi-structured interviews. The data from these interviews were transcribed and examined using IPA methods to discern key experiences, develop themes, and understand participants' perspectives on their reflection processes. This study aims to shed light on how video and transcript-based reflection can facilitate reflective practice and professional development among future English teachers. The outcomes are expected to enhance teacher training by emphasizing the advantages of video-based reflection as a mechanism to encourage more evidence-informed and critical reflection.
