Summary/Abstract: A lot has been said about the need to prepare students for the challenges of the globalising world and one of the answers to the question how to do this effectively is related to the purposeful implementation of foreign language learning based on the development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC), the latter referring not only to school language education but also to learning languages at university level. Regardless of age, gender, ethnic, social or educational background, contemporary young people are increasingly part of an intensifying communication across borders and continents. These processes are often related to study and labour mobility although they are not restricted to experiences of having to function in another country only.
