Thanks to the globalisation, it has become so easy for people to communicate with each other and variety of means have been developed to facilitate this process. International languages have played an important role in the development of globalisation. It can be argued that communicating in international languages has become the very first step in getting involved in this process. The main goal of learning a language is to develop one's proficiency in communicating effectively with others and understand the differences that may rise either linguistically or culturally in different contexts. To achieve it, language learners' cultural competence is required to be developed and this would also enable them to develop new perceptions towards their own culture as well as others'. This article aims at addressing the issue of cultural competence as one of the most vital aspects of language teaching as well as its development as time passes by.
