Summary/Abstract: Considering the fact that English is nowadays seen as a newly emerging word-order on the international work-place, culture is widely believed to play a pivotal function for better communication to occur on the international scale; as it places an incredibly high value on the participants’ interactions. It seems, thus, for a great discernible to noticeably devise a new-fangled framework based on the new perspective on incorporating the cultural aspect in EFL teaching in general and ESP in particular. Therefore, and due to the process of globalization, a long lasting interest has been placed upon the call for effective ways to better assist and enhance the learners’ intercultural communicative competence and promoting at the same time cross-cultural understanding. This paper is, in fact, an attempt to shed some fresh lights on the underlying significance of the adoption or adaptation of an intercultural approach to our Business English learners at the preparatory school of Economics of Tlemcen - ALGERIA- .
