Abstract (2. Language): 
Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is defined to be at the heart of foreign language education nowadays due to the sensitivity of English Language Teaching (ELT) world to the term ‘culture’. EFL teachers should gain and teach ICC. Accordingly, this paper aims to understand how much preference EFL teachers express for intercultural elements in the teaching materials. A qualitative research was designed via semi-structured interview with international EFL teachers. The findings reveal EFL teachers express less preference to intercultural elements in their materials. Specific emphasis on ICC is to be embedded to EFL teacher training programmes so that teachers can perform in the interculturalisation process more effectively

Abstract (Original Language): 
Kültürlerarası iletişimsel yeterlik yabancı dil eğitiminde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Özellikle modern İngilizce öğretimi anlayışının ‘kültür’ konusundakı duyarlılığından dolayı, yabancı dil öğretmenlerinden kültürlerarası iletişimsel yeterliğe sahip olmaları ve bunu öğretmeleri beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma İngilizce’nin yabancı dil olarak öğretildiği ülkelerdeki İngilizce öğretmenlerinin kendi sınıflarında kullandıkları yabancı dil öğretim materyallerinde kültürlerarası öğeleri ne kadar tercih ettiklerini bulmayı amaçlar. Bu öğretmenlere yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme uygulanarak, nicel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar bu öğretmenlerin kültürlerarası öğelerden oluşan yabancı dil öğretim materyallerini seçme farkındalıklarının az gelişmiş olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu öğretmenlerin kültürlerarası süreçte daha etkin rol oynamalarını sağlayabilmek için öğretmen eğitim yada hizmet içi eğitim programlarında kültürlerarası iletişimsel yeterliğinin ve kültürlerarası ögelerin kullanımının önemi ayrıca belirtilmelidir.
