IT and Linguocultural Competence
:
 
IT has transformed the way we communicate and 
interact with each other. It has made communication easier and faster, allowing individuals from 
different parts of the world to connect and communicate in real-time. This has led to an increase in 
the number of international collaborations and partnerships, making it essential for individuals to 
possess linguocultural competence.
 
Online language courses and language learning apps, such as 
Duolingo and Rosetta Stone, have made language learning more accessible and convenient [2]. 
These tools provide individuals with the opportunity to learn a new language at their own pace and 
in their own time. They also offer interactive activities and exercises that help individuals practice 
their language skills and learn about the culture associated with the language.
 
Furthermore, IT has also made it possible for individuals to learn about different cultures 
through virtual tours, online museums, and cultural events. This has allowed individuals to gain a 
deeper understanding of different cultures, their customs, and their beliefs. It has also helped 
individuals develop a greater appreciation for diversity and inclusivity. IT has also played a 
significant role in facilitating cross-cultural communication. Social media platforms, such as 
Facebook and Twitter, have made it possible for individuals to connect with people from different 
parts of the world. These platforms have also allowed individuals to share their perspectives, 
experiences, and ideas, leading to a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures [1]. 
IT tools, such as video conferencing, instant messaging, and email, have made it possible for 
individuals to communicate and collaborate with colleagues and clients from different parts of the 
world. These tools have also made it easier for individuals to learn new languages and cultures, 
allowing them to develop their linguocultural competence.
One of the significant benefits of IT is that it provides an immersive learning experience. 
With the help of virtual reality and augmented reality, learners can experience the language and 
culture they are interested in without leaving their homes. Virtual reality can be used to simulate 
real-life scenarios, which can help learners to understand the language and culture better. Another 
benefit of IT is that it provides learners with a platform to interact with native speakers [3]. With the 
help of video conferencing, learners can have conversations with native speakers, which can help 
them to improve their language skills and cultural competence. 
Moreover, there are many online language learning platforms that provide learners with 
access to authentic resources such as books, newspapers, and TV shows. These resources are 
essential in helping learners to understand the language and culture they are interested in better. The 
use of IT has also made it possible to learn a language at your own pace. Online language courses 
are self-paced, which means learners can learn at a speed that is comfortable for them. This is 
especially beneficial for learners who have busy schedules and cannot commit to regular classes. IT 
has also made language learning more accessible. With the availability of numerous online 
language learning platforms, learners can access quality language education from anywhere in the 
world. This has made language learning more affordable and has removed barriers to access. IT has 
a significant role in improving linguocultural competence in several ways in the following:
