Resumen
Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is an essential tool in the English Language
teaching and learning process, especially in the training of translators. In the current globalized
world, the translator needs to acquire a certain level of intercultural communicative competence
(ICC) in order to function as a bridge between different sociocultural groups, minimizing the
effects of cultural misunderstandings. Therefore, the main goal of this research paper is to propose
a set of activities for the subject Introducción a la Traducción in the third academic year of the
course English Language with Second Foreign Language (French) at Universidad Central “Marta
Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV) for students to become interculturally competent translators. The
paper consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on the theoretical framework about culture,
interculturality, communication, language, intercultural communication and intercultural
communicative competence, as well as the relationships between them. Chapter 2 deals with the
methodological framework, stages and context of the research. Also, the activities proposed are
described in this second chapter. Finally, conclusions, recommendations, bibliography and
annexes are provided.
