Abstract
This paper seeks to propose the way in which Thai university students’ intercultural communication competence in the context of learning and using EFL can be promoted through an intercultural course. The primary objective is to examine if students majoring in English and passing the intercultural communication Course can develop the competence or not. Intercultural communication competence was defined with its features, and the Intercultural Communication Course was outlined in order to shed light on this study. Qualitative data collected from twelve English major students who passed the Intercultural Communication Course and continued their academic journey revealed positive outcomes.
