Intercultural competence refers to the ability to interact and participate in a diverse community which is represented by the fundamental elements of knowledge, attitude, and skills. The need to promote intercultural competence should be visible to produce global citizens in the learning curriculum. However, the current phenomenon shows that this competence remains implicit in several teaching methods and communication skills, especially within higher education. Therefore, this research aims to propose a teaching framework to enhance intercultural competence through digital media literacy as the current society has moved towards digital media to obtain and share information within the diverse community. The framework would highlight digital media literacy skills to extract, evaluate, and re-produce the information strengthening the role of global citizens as active participants within the intercultural context.
