The ultimate goals of the teaching of culture in ELT
are knowledge, attitudes and skills which are important components of ICC. This
paper studies ICC from several perspectives, such as the concept of ICC, the teaching of ICC, the relationship
between communicative and ICC and the assessment of ICC. Although ICC teaching
also has its own difficulties, cultural knowledge, skills and attitudes are all
suggested to be important aspects of the teaching of culture in ELT.
