@Cypher008: I think it highlights the importance of intercultural communicative competence. It is true that culture and language always go together, and the most of the current language programs are far from being international in terms of improving ICC of students to achieve a better mutual understanding. Today ICC is a base for language learning frameworks both in the US and in the other parts of the world (e.g. Common European Framework of References for Languages), however it is arguable whether those frameworks are applicable in practice.
