The current study attempted to cast light on the status quo of Iranian EFL teachers' perceptions of ICC. It further attempted to see if their experience would influence their conceptualizations of ICC.

The findings point to the prominence of intercultural teacher education in the Iranian context. تفاصيل المقالة
