“…Although careful attention was paid to only include works that referred to concepts related to both intercultural communicative competence and EAP, the majority of the scholarly works found did not have intercultural communicative competence as the main focus of investigation. Rather, intercultural communicative competence might be an outcome of the investigation (Clennel, 1999;Spiliotopoulos & Carey, 2005); an implication based on scholarly inquiry (Basturkmen, 2000;Cheng & Fox, 2008;Ellwood & Nakane, 2009;Singh & Doherty, 2004;Thatcher, 2004); or a part of an EAP course curriculum (Campbell, MacPherson, & Sawkins, 2014;Liu, 2007;Stoller, 1999). There were just four peer reviewed articles (Galante, 2014;Garcia-Perez et al, 2014;Jund, 2010;Ruhe, 1998) and one MA thesis (Martin, 2016) in which concepts related to intercultural communicative competence and EAP were the main focus of the scholarly inquiry.…”
