The new and challenging field of intercultural communication is today taught in institutions of higher education
in Norway by teachers having a wide variety of backgrounds, including language teachers, priests and
anthropologists. Since Norwegian universities do not offer a higher degree in this specific field, it is left up to
the individual teacher to find relevant information concerning the subject field, its history and research
paradigms. There is also the issue of why and how it should be taught, which can be both a challenging and
time-consuming task. This article attempts to assist these busy teachers by giving them a general overview of the
field's history, its main contributors, relevant terminology and content. The article also includes a discussion of
teaching aims and teaching methods, and warns against focusing purely on subject content and skills without
developing the students’ attitudes and sensitivity towards cultural differences.
