Tran and Vo (2023) conducted a mixed-methods study to investigate the needs

analysis about Intercultural Communicative Competence among undergraduate
tourism students who was study at three educational institutions in central Vietnam.
The participants were 628 students - mostly between the ages of 21 and 22 and with
eight to twelve years of English language instruction - from two universities and a
junior college. Eight questions containing both closed-ended and open-ended sections
about undergraduate students were used in the study's questionnaire.

There are two noteworthy drawbacks to this study. Initially, it might make use of
students majoring in tourism at a central Vietnamese city. Therefore, subsequent
studies ought to be carried out utilizing a more extensive sample size spanning
various areas and academic establishments within Vietnam. Second, the results were
only gathered from the undergraduates. Therefore, the purpose of teaching and
learning ICC in ELT generally and in ETP specifically, more research examining the
needs analysis of ICC from relevant stakeholders such as instructors, graduates, and
professional specialists would be notable.
