25. Intercultural competence as defined by Johannes De Gruyter (2011) the ability to understand and respond to cultural difference in increasingly sophisticated ways.This ability shows itself in three aspects: it is about the changes of an individual’s knowledge (cognition), attitudes (emotions) and skills (behaviour) in order to enable a positive and effective interaction with members of other cultures, both abroad and at home.
