Description
Summary:This paper targets to explore an association among Attitude towards Other Cultures (ATOC) and Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC) of the international students from a Non-Western context of Malaysia. A quantitative research approach is adopted and through survey technique, the data is collected from the international students of University Utara Malaysia. The data is analyzed through Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS). The findings revealed a positive significant relationship between ATOC and ICC. International students possess such attitudes that are favorable for their competency in intercultural communication. Furthermore, it is evident from the findings of this study that attitude towards other cultures is one of the predictors of intercultural communication competence.
