Intercultural competence is crucial for English language learning in German schools, as it fosters students' abilities for effective intercultural communication. The paper critiques current curricula for focusing predominantly on cognitive objectives while neglecting the affective and action-oriented dimensions essential for teaching culture. It emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to intercultural education, drawing on Byram's model to provide a framework for integrating all three dimensions into teaching strategies. The goal is to enhance students' empathy, respect for cultural differences, and ability to navigate intercultural interactions.
