In our age of globalisation, like all English language learners, Turkish students learning English also need to be aware of cultural differences for successful intercultural communication. Awareness and tolerance towards unfamiliar cultural values can be increased in several ways, which is the aim of intercultural training. Critical incidents of intercultural communication have been used in intercultural training for increasing learners’ intercultural awareness. This paper focuses on ways of using these short texts for literature students. As a type of written narrative, critical incidents of intercultural communication can be analysed based on the structural elements of a narrative. This kind of analysis is likely to be of interest for the literature students as they are already familiar with analysing literary works with a dramatic structure.
