THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE OF YOUNGER STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING VOCABULARY

Abstract

Learning vocabulary is a crucial aspect of language acquisition, especially for younger students. However, in today's increasingly globalized world, it is not enough to simply learn words in isolation. The development of intercultural competence alongside vocabulary learning has become essential for students to effectively communicate and engage with diverse cultures and communities. This article aims to explore the importance of intercultural competence in the process of learning vocabulary, highlighting the benefits it offers to younger students.
