From International to Intercultural

Redefining the International School for a Globalized World

Lombok, Indonesia mark_oh{at}mataram.wasantara.net.id

This article defines intercultural literacy as the competencies, understandings, attitudes, language proficiencies, participation and identities necessary for effective cross-cultural engagement. A new multidimensional and developmental model for intercultural literacy is proposed with reference to previous culture shock and cross-cultural adjustment models, and some implications for international schools are suggested. International schools, it is argued, are in a unique position to develop understandings and practice in relation to intercultural literacy. Not only can they do so—but they should.

Key Words: globalization • intercultural • intercultural literacy • international school
