Abstract
Learning English with Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) has become increasingly important in the EFL context, particularly in today’s borderless world. However, it remains challenging for Indonesian lecturers to provide relevant ICC materials and adopt appropriate teaching models. This study investigates Indonesian EFL students’ ICC development through a Digital-Assisted Learning model called DALNaz, which integrates Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Willingness to Communicate (WTC). Using the ADDIE model within a Research and Development (R&D) framework, the study thoroughly evaluates the effectiveness of DALNaz in fostering ICC. The needs analysis reveals three main challenges: limited opportunities to practice ICC, insufficient technological support, and time constraints. Based on these findings, further research will focus on designing an enhanced DALNaz model—integrating PjBL and WTC—to improve Indonesian EFL students’ intercultural communication competence and better prepare them for global interactions.
