Intercultural competences and cultural intelligence in professional English language teaching
Intercultural competences and cultural intelligence in professional English language teaching

Summary/Abstract: As a result of intercultural differences, a manager has to be educated to adapt to any possible culture-based situations. The faculties of economic types have to take into account the requirements of the present-day multicultural business markets. The paper studied the learning of professional English of the first-year students at master’s level of studies at the Faculty of Management of the University of Prešov in Prešov from the point of view of the relationship between cultural knowledge and language skills by analysing self-evaluation data and answers to the three questions concerning various aspects of intercultural competence. The relationship between the students’ evaluation of professional English skills and their intercultural competence was not proved. Nevertheless, more than 70% of them believe that the knowledge of English-speaking countries’ culture is a part of English language learning.
