Resum:This study explores the role of Intercultural Competence (IC) in Second Language Acquisition (SLA), examining its impact on learners' motivation and communicative outcomes. While SLA research has emphasized linguistic and cognitive factors, integrating intercultural perspectives provides a more holistic approach to language education. IC fosters cultural awareness, engagement, and communicative skills, complementing methodologies such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). With the growing use of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in SLA, new opportunities for personalized learning arise, alongside challenges of authenticity and human interaction. This research adopts a qualitative design, using semi-structured interviews with 200 learners and 30 educators, analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings are expected to demonstrate how IC enhances learner motivation and classroom effectiveness, contributing to more inclusive pedagogical practices and offering insights into its role in both traditional and digital learning contexts.
