Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores the perceptions of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) among Korean professionals in English as a business lingua franca (BELF) communication. The findings highlight the participants' emphasis on the importance of fluency, focusing primarily on the functional aspects of fluency rather than native-like proficiency. The analysis also indicates that the ability to accommodate others plays a crucial role in achieving effective ICC in BELF, facilitating the resolution of variability and misunderstandings. Consequently, communicative competence in BELF requires enhanced flexibility and adaptability, enabling professionals to develop the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes to comprehend and navigate cultural and linguistic diversity.
