The rapid globalization of communication, education, and professional interaction has transformed foreign language learning into a process that extends beyond linguistic proficiency. It now demands the development of intercultural competence — the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately across cultures. This article explores the theoretical foundations, pedagogical significance, and practical challenges of developing intercultural competence in foreign language education. The paper identifies the key problems teachers and learners face in integrating cultural dimensions into language teaching, including ethnocentrism, stereotypes, limited cultural exposure, and methodological barriers. Possible strategies for overcoming these challenges through pedagogical innovation, reflective learning, and authentic cultural engagement are also discussed.
