HOW ABOUT INTERCOMPREHENSION (IC)? IC AS A COMPLEMENT TO TEACHING LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING

Abstract

This paper aims to provide teachers and learners of foreign languages (particularly English) with information concerning intercomprehension. It constitutes another approach to language learning which greatly assists multilingualism. It also aims to guide the first steps of anyone interested in this concept by explaining what IC is - highlighting research, and revealing the available resources to develop it (mostly online). At the same time, it will finally advocate for the introduction of this concept into existing European education systems.
