dc.description.abstract	This study investigated the relationship between social-emotional foreign language learning and intercultural communicative competence of university EFL students. Students’ perceptions were assessed through Zaimoğlu’s (2018) “Social-Emotional Foreign Language Learning Scale” and Mirzaei & Forouzandeh’s (2013) “Intercultural Communicative Competence Questionnaire”. Besides, students’ demographic information was also explored under gender, age, English level, university, university department, high school background, high school department, abroad experiences. Participants of this study are 255 preparatory school university students from Mersin. The findings concluded high level of competences in decision-making and social-relations and moderate level of competence of self-regulation. Moreover, demographic results also revealed significant statistics regarding gender in social-relations. On the other hand, students’ ICC level were found as moderate and demographic results informed that foundation university students had higher Skills than public university students. Furthermore, Pearson r correlations revealed significant and positive relationship between SEFLL and ICC and demonstrated a clear understanding of an awareness between the relationship without vaguely gesturing.
