<p style="text-align:justify;">In this paper, an&nbsp;attempt is made to develop a framework of a “MulDiLanguaging”&nbsp; approach with the purpose to enhance primary school students’ intercultural competence. This educational framework consists&nbsp;of three interactive – interdependent components: a)&nbsp;Intercultural/multicultural sensitivity and awareness, b) Intercultural&nbsp;cooperation and communication, c) Language and intercultural communication&nbsp;strategies. It includes communicative and creative activities aiming at developing&nbsp;students’ intercultural communicative skills in parallel with their target&nbsp;language skills (EFL). In the “MulDiLanguaging” framework, the students are&nbsp;trained to acquire knowledge of ‘self’ and ‘other’, knowledge of everyday life&nbsp;in different cultural contexts, to function fully in an intercultural&nbsp;situation, as well as to develop language skills and abilities in the target&nbsp;language and intercultural communication strategies. A number of communicative&nbsp;and creative activities are presented with the purpose to create a&nbsp;group-working, cooperative context and enhance students’ intercultural&nbsp;competence. Also, an Intercultural&nbsp;Portfolio is suggested as an alternative tool for assessing students’&nbsp;linguistic skills and strategies and their intercultural communication skills&nbsp;acquired in the “MulDiLanguaging”&nbsp;setting.</p>
