Оценяването на интеркултурната компетентност – инструмент за повишаване на конкурентоспособността и самопознанието
Intercultural Competence Assessment – a Tool to Enhance Competitiveness and Self-Awareness]

Summary/Abstract: The importance of studying intercultural competence (ICC) is increasing due to the large-scale impact of globalization on human society. It is important for academic and professional circles to know, however, that only the highest levels of ICC can lead to genuine intercultural dialogue and competitiveness. Intercultural competence starts with rising awareness for cultural differences, but evolves into an ever more complete perception of people as unique beings with own cultural repertoire that color their perception and behavior in any situation. Therefore, assessing the achieved level of ICC is essential. This article reviews different perspectives and analyzes an assessment model that is appropriate not only for assessment but also for the development of training modules and programs required to form high levels of ICC.
