Summary/Abstract: Modern as well as traditional societies are faced with the same basic problems. They differ mainly in the answers and reactions to these challenges and how they can solve these problems. The American ethnologist Edward T. Hall is considered to be the founder of “intercultural communication” and identified three cultural dimensions, context orientation, spatial orientation and time orientation. Later he added the speed of information as a fourth dimension. The work examines how these four cultural dimensions of Edward T. Hall can be implemented in the classroom on the basis of tasks, case studies, speaking occasions and picture templates.
