- Abstract
SEA Teachers Project is one of SEAMEO’s international collaboration programs held by several universities in Southeast Asia to increase students’ cultural awareness and pedagogical experience to be international teachers. Their experience as international teachers in other countries are expected to develop a greater sense of intercultural communicative competence (ICC), especially in education. This study aims to investigate the outcome of the international teaching internship experience of Philippines, Indonesian and Thai pre-service English teachers who participated in the ‘SEA-Teacher’ program in developing their intercultural communicative competence. The result also addressed challenges that pre-service English face during the program. A qualitative case study was used as research design which employs two data collection techniques consisting of questionnaires and interviews. The finding of this research indicated that pre-service English teachers cultivate their intercultural communicative competence. It also found that they faced challenges while in the host country, yet after several times they could overcome it.
