The purpose of this presentation is to introduce the concept of English as an Intercultural Language (EIcL) (Green & Lee, 2015; Lee, 2012; Sifakis, 2004) and to summarize the results of two studies that identified Korean university students’ perceptions of EIcL, one related to classroom learning and the other to study abroad experiences in the outer circle (Kachru, 1992). In addition, the presenter will introduce several pedagogical approaches and strategies that can promote EIcL in the EFL classroom.
