Culture channels the way we perceive the world while language embodies its most relevant vehicle. Possessing knowledge, beliefs, behaviours and attitudes towards various cultures paved the way to the promotion of an intercultural competence where every participant is actually the product of a specific culture with a specific mode of communication. The present paper explores the concept of intercultural literacy in EFL language teaching at the level of higher education and reflects into significant pedagogical strategies to teaching foreign languages through intercultural literacy, to enhance students’ linguistic and intercultural comprehension. Similarly, the paper intends to raise EFL teachers’ awareness to the need of developing their intercultural literacy in teaching a foreign language and gives suggestions for possible choices and materials to meet the contexts of the EFL classroom as far as intercultural literacy is concerned.
