AB  - Today, it is more affordable than ever before toarrange for an intercultural communication. This is because Internet with its socialmedia and its potential to bring learners into direct contact with the targetculture, allow learners not only gain access to authentic publications from thetarget culture but they can also take part in online chat rooms, discussionboards and videoconferences, i.e., learners will develop interculturalcompetence. Becoming interculturally competent will allow the learner captureand understand, in interaction with people from foreign cultures, theirspecific concepts in perception, thinking, feeling and acting. This article is,therefore, about the impact of social media -which make available a contextwhere people across the world can communicate, exchange messages, shareknowledge and interact with each other despite the distance that separates them-onintercultural communication. The impact is constantly increasing,since socialmedia has taken a big role in our social interactions where we no longer haveto speak to people to know what they are doing, while a mouse-click can do thejob instead.
