Recent advances in communication technologies, globalization, internet 2.0, mobile
communication and social networks, among many other factors, have led to a growth of possibilities of
communication between people of different languages and cultures never seen before in the history of the
world. However, recent language research highlights the fact that knowledge of the language alone does
not guarantee successful communication in international contexts: cultural diversity, intercultural
communication competence, cultural intelligence, intercultural sensitivity and intercultural awareness
place an emphasis on the intercultural dimension of foreign language education. It is stated that foreign
language training in professional settings needs to be customized according to the academic context,
social demands and professional profiles of individuals. Existing intercultural communication competence
assessment instruments seem to focus on generic needs of learners, based on a generic learning context,
and measure the individual’s ability to communicate in a foreign language across cultural boundaries, but
at the same time, seem to pay attention to the variable of a specialized context biased by cultural
constrains. It seems that universal intercultural communication competence assessment models are failing
to meet actual requirements and training efforts are not aligned with teaching objectives. Upon identifying
the basic dimensions of intercultural communication such as knowledge, attitude and behaviour, this
study proposes a revision of different specialized communication settings and intercultural
communication competence instruments from the perspective of professional communication and then
review existing research lines to, finally, propose research opportunities from the point of view of
specialized languages and contexts.
