Pedagogical Sciences

Today, human mobility among countries and continents is greatly accelerated as a result of globalization and changing living circumstances, leading to cultural diversity to become indispensable for nations hosting immigrants. It becomes even easier for people from different cultures to have interpersonal interactions as technology advances and creates new means of communication. As cultural diversity and contact spread, the concept of cross-cultural competency on a wider scale becomes more visible. In the available research, this concept appears to be well studied in the second/foreign language teaching programs or in the context of cultivating communication abilities. Reviewing cross-cultural competency from this perspective assumes that the members of a given culture speaking the same language also share the same beliefs, values, traditions, and customs. However, this does not apply to all situations; for instance, there might be some differences among teens, friends, families, and colleagues in their values, attitudes, and lifestyles despite sharing the same language and culture.
