Abstract:

 Remote acculturation (RA) occurs as a result intermittent and/or indirect contact with a culturally and historically distinct culture, as enabled by modern globalization mechanisms. It revolves mainly around contact with culturally different people. Therefore, remotely acculturating individuals would change how they view others and interact with them. This paper aimed to investigate the effects of RA on individuals’ intercultural communicative competence, particularly among Moroccan adolescents. Adopting a quantitative approach, questionnaires were distributed to ninety-seven high school students in the Driouch Province, to measure their levels of RA and intercultural communicative competence, then examine the relationship between the two. The results indicated that the correlation between the two variables was weak. However, the results of males and participants interested in the Korean and American cultures were found to have a relatively stronger correlation in terms of the correlation between the variables in question.
