<p><em>This paper discusses the concept of intercultural communication competence and intercultural communication in education settings. The digital era which is indicated by the explosion of communication technologies has tremendous implication for intercultural communication. Intercultural communication is a transactional and symbolic process involving the attribution of meaning between people from different culture. It may occur not only in virtual environment in which people interact through communication technology media, but also in non-virtual settings. The ultimate terminal of intercultural communication skill is the ability to interact appropriately and effectively with those from other cultural background. Thus, teachers should master the intercultural communication competence, as learners and teachers come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and bring a variety of expectations to the interaction.</em></p>
