Research methodology employs qualitative method by conducting semi-structured interviews to four lecturers who teach writing classes. The findings of this study are intercultural knowledge and skills, attitudes, and critical cultural awareness from BIPA lecturer perspectives in the writing class using ICC play pivotal roles. The recommendation from this research is that lecturers need to integrate ICC into their teaching practices for every language skill because it can promote a more inclusive educational environment. However, further research is required to ensure the effectiveness of ICC in other language skills.]]>
