The literature review explores fundamental perspectives on the concept of intercultural competencies and the framework of intercultural competencies. It also discusses intercultural competency development and acquisition methods at educational institutions, especially through language learning. Various approaches to acculturation are reviewed and analyzed. The second part of the literature review focuses on the cultivation of intercultural competencies within the Canadian context. It investigates the concept of migration and its fundamental types while also analyzing the support mechanisms available for immigrants in Canada and Ontario province specifically. The empirical research allows us to build the connection between the awareness of intercultural competencies and their impact on migrants and their integration into the host society. Findings show that possessing intercultural competencies promotes higher rates of successful integration, acculturation, sociocultural and psychological adaptation, and professional integration. Recommendations include the promotion of fostering intercultural competencies in migrants through educational institutions. The outcomes of this research will be of practical value to those studying immigrants' social and cultural adaptation in a new country. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Competências interculturais Migrantes Ensino de língua estrangeira Imigração Canadá Intercultural competencies Migrants Foreign language learning Immigration phenomenon Acquiring intercultural competencies through language learning and its potential impact on immigration integration in the province of Ontario, Canada master thesis Mestrado em Didática do Inglês Publication 04:Educação de Qualidade restrictedAccess masterThesisrestricted
