- Abstract
The changes brought about by globalization have determined the success of intercultural communication studies in our age, since there is a pending necessity to interact with people from other cultures. Educators are responsible for an adequate instruction and as L2 teachers we feel our class is the right place to work on specific abilities such as intercultural communicative competence. Moreover, we should bear in mind that the growth of ICT has influenced and reshaped the English language teaching and learning. This paper advocates the use of Internet as an effective tool in intercultural training. Thus, after some theoretical considerations, we will introduce the most relevant web pages and activities to develop our students' intercultural abilities.
