The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the growing importance of intercultural competence in teaching and learning Business English in terms of cultural awareness, which aids in communicating successfully – both linguistically and pragmatically– in a foreign language, in this case English, in various business contexts across cultures. Cultural competence refers to a person's ability to interact, work, and form meaningful connections with others from a variety of cultural backgrounds. The ideas, practices, and actions of people from diverse groups might be considered cultural background. Increasing self-awareness, developing social skills and behaviors surrounding diversity, and learning to advocate for others are all part of the process of achieving cultural competency. It extends beyond tolerance, which indicates a willingness to put differences aside. Instead, it entails recognizing and valuing variety in all circumstances via our words and deeds.
