The Understanding of the Meaning of Intercultural Communication by Non-philological and Philological Students of Business English Courses at the University of Presov by Lucia Dančišinová

“…In classrooms today, intercultural communication is presented and explained even with greater variety than it is approached in theory and research. The aim of the paper is to analyse and compare the process of definition of intercultural communication in university textbooks with the definitions by philological and non-philological students of Business English courses at the University of Presov, to illustrate the possible problems with understanding the meaning as a result of different purposes and contexts of educational reality. …”
