Abstract

This study delves into the intercultural communication competence of Indonesian
students participating in the Exchange Student Program at the University of Pécs.
It examines how they navigate the substantial cultural differences between
Hungary and Indonesia, employing Byram's (1997) five elements of intercultural
communication competence—attitude, knowledge, skills of interpreting and
relating, skills of discovery and interaction, and critical cultural
awareness/political education—and intergroup contact theory to explore potential
prejudice. The findings reveal that despite facing significant cultural challenges,
the students demonstrate and substantially enhance their intercultural
communication competence. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, the
intellectual perspectives of each student in navigating cultural differences enrich
the study, contributing to a deeper understanding of their intercultural experiences
and offering insights into broader cultural adaptation in educational exchange
programs. All Indonesian students in this study exhibit their intercultural
communication competence. According to Singerman (1996), the demonstrated
competencies indicate that the informants are at stage 4 of this competence.
