Abstract: The ever-expanding concept of globalization is becoming a part of our routine working and living so the profession of teaching is also not remained untouched by its effects. “Intercultural and pluralingualismen-counters” (Bastos & Sá, 2014) are getting common and bringing challenges with them. In this very scenario it’s becoming essential to give way to the development of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC). The concept is very much facilitating in the field of second language teaching. In this thematic study the following concerns will be analyzed: (a) how much the background studies support this concept; (b) to what extent it is important to spread awareness about it; and (c) what is the status of awareness of ICC in Pakistani academia. The findings of the analyses ensured us about the dire need of ICC awareness amongst language teachers and moreover its practical aspects for the improvement of SLT practices at all levels.
