Abstract

Current developments in English Language
Teaching (ELT) have heightened the urgent need for
intercultural competence as being another essential skill
in contemporary language education. Today’s EFL
teachers are required to possess intercultural
competencies to effectively assist students in raising their
intercultural awareness. This study aims to examine
teachers’ international experiences regarding the
development of their intercultural competence, utilizing
the developmental model of intercultural sensitivity
(DMIS) proposed by Bennett (1986, 2017) as the
framework. Through the application of a multiple
narrative approach, we analyzed the stories of two higher
education teachers, collected via document study and
three-cycle interviews. The results demonstrate the complexities of teachers’ intercultural competence
development and highlight an important aspect: one’s
intercultural progression, as they may flexibly alter based
on the situation and condition faced at a given moment.
