Abstract

V originále

The aim of the contribution was to present the main themes of current educational research in the field of the development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC), paying particular attention to studies from 2010 –2021 with special focus on teaching projects and research studies dealing with the topic of reconceptualization of intercultural communicative competence in the context of modern technologies, telecollaborative projects and the so-called third-space culture. Attention was paid to the topic of multimodal communicative competence (MCC) and its inclusion into the concept of intercultural communicative competence. New areas of ICC teaching and research were introduced, as well as areas of research that had been neglected (both worldwide and in the teaching and research context of the Czech Republic) and are likely to become central to research on the development of intercultural communicative competence in the following decades. Many studies (e.g. Hauck, 2007; Hauck & Lewis, 2007; Dooly, 2011) suggest that the level of students’ multimodal communicative competence influences the development of students’ ICC to a larger extent than other factors (e.g. their age) and that the choice of digital communication tools in telecollaborative exchanges influences not only the success of the telecollaborative exchanges but also their ICC skills.
