Pluricultural Competence in Language Education
Pluricultural competence, an essential component in language education, enables individuals to communicate across cultures with proficiency in multiple languages. This concept, introduced in the CEFR, emphasizes the integration of language and cultural knowledge to enhance communicative abilities without barriers. The ability to navigate diverse cultural contexts and adapt language use accordingly is crucial for effective intercultural interaction. Plurilingual and pluricultural competence are intricately linked, offering a comprehensive approach to language learning and fostering inclusive communication skills.

Pluricultural competence and plurilingual competence Pluricultural competence and plurilingual competence Plurilingual and pluricultural competence are dealt with together in the CEFR and its Companion Volume. When we talk about language competence, we are referring to linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic knowledge, however, cultural knowledge refers to competences that are relevant to specific social groups. Language is a means of access to cultural manifestations, and in this sense plurilingual competence is a component of pluricultural competence. This module will mostly deal with pluricultural competence, although plurilingual competence will be mentioned as one of its elements.

Pluricultural competence Pluricultural competence Pluricultural competence is a concept that was already introduced in the CEFR 2001. It arises from the concept of learners as social agents who have experience of several cultures. Pluricultural competence is the ability to use languages for the purposes of communication and to take part in intercultural interaction, where a person, viewed as a social agent has proficiency, of varying degrees, in several languages and experience of several cultures. (CEFR 2001: 168) Cultures are seen, not as competences stored in separate mental compartments, but as tools that interact together and build up the communicative competence of the user. The goal is not a balanced mastery of languages and cultures, but the ability to use them without barriers and adapted to the social and communicative situation. This concept is particularly relevant in language education.
