Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent foreign language textbooks can contribute to promoting students’ acquisition of intercultural communicative competence. Our primary goal was to explore whether and to what extent textbooks for learning English currently in use in Croatia help in promoting the acquisition of intercultural communicative competence. The data was collected with respect to one particular indirect source of contact, namely foreign language textbooks. We combined quantitative and qualitative approaches in analyzing our data. We wish to determine whether Croatian secondary school English language textbooks include learning tasks that promote the development of intercultural communicative competence. The study was based on Byram’s model of intercultural communicative competence.
