Abstract (Original Language): 
This present study aims to investigate the role of intercultural competence in Turkish tertiary EFL teaching. More specifically, the study was carried out in order to reveal English lecturers’ beliefs regarding intercultural competence. Data were collected from 368 English lecturers in İstanbul via a questionnaire and a scale. The findings have revealed that English lecturers do not believe that culture learning is among the primary objectives of English language teaching and believe more in attitudinal dimension of culture teaching. Also, English lecturers agree with intercultural language teaching and believe that they are sufficiently familiar with foreign cultures.
