Abstract: Cultural identity is a complex concept which incorporates the aspects of identity that derive from a person’s characteristic linguistic, religious, ethnic, racial and national identity. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the use of an activity for teaching the concept of cultural identity to graduate students at the Ovidius University of Constanta who study English as a second language (ESL). First, the importance of in-depth development of intercultural communication skills for ESL learners is presented. Next, the article describes the research methodology, and the stages of the intercultural communication teaching activity are also presented. Third, the results of the survey which is part of the activity are shown and discussed. Finally, the conclusion of the article presents the advantages of including such didactic activities in ESL classes instead of icebreakers for graduate students.
