The article emphasizes the growing importance of intercultural communication, especially in education. It defines culture and outlines its constituent categories, focusing on differences in linguistic communication—general variations in vocabulary and grammar, prosodic factors, and certain body-language features across cultures. Because human interaction involves more than linguistic dimensions, the discussion also touches on religion, value and attitude disparities. The authors propose initial steps to raise cultural awareness among all participants in intercultural communication and suggest ways to internationalize curricula to succeed as an international institution. Internationalization of education is not merely the exchange of students and teachers; the article highlights common challenges and offers advice on how our university integrates culture into teaching and learning.
