This paper will give an overview of how intercultural communicative competence (ICC) can help educators meet these demands. ICC has made a relatively small impact within the Japanese educational system, thus the main purpose of this paper is to bring a greater awareness and understanding of the potential benefits that ICC can give to educators. ICC theory, pedagogical approaches and the key principles for designing an intercultural development themed course will be introduced. Also, the authors will suggest how complexity theory can help educators and learners understand and appreciate the process of intercultural development.}, pages = {(1)--(12)}, title = {Intercultural Communicative Competence, Complexity Theory and Assessment: Considerations for Creating Effective Intercultural and Foreign Language Development Programs}, year = {2016}, yomi = {ミヤフサ, スミコ and フリッツ, ロビンソン} }
