Abstract

The present paper aims at discussing what features of English intercultural competence are believed to be important for Indonesian EFL learners to be successful English learners and in an international communication. The research participants are 113 learners currently enrolling in D3 (Diploma Three) English program and English Literature program (BA in English Literature) at Maranatha Christian University. In order to gain data for the present study, a questionnaire containing open and closed questions was administered to the participants. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to answer some questions raised in the study. The findings shows that most of the students learn English to be able to communicate with both native speakers of English (such as Americans British, Australians) and non-native speakers of English (such as Malaysians, Singaporeans, Indians) and they think that it is important to gain intercultural competence as well as knowing non-native varieties of English.
