Language educators are encouraged to create the optimal motivational environment for learning to take place. It appears that the student-centered classroom offers the ideal context to boost the learners‘ interaction and make the learning process more motivational. The learners‘ ability to appropriately use the language in various context is linked to the development of the intercultural communicative competence. The paper shows the results of a small-scale research conducted at Alecu Russo Balti State University, which aimed to determine whether or not task-based learning can help develop the learners‘ intercultural awareness and boost their intercultural communicative competence. The results seemed to indicate that task-based learning can be used among other student-centered methods when the language educator‘s focus is on the development of both fluency and intercultural awareness. When it comes to the development of the intercultural communicative competence, further research should be conducted in order to get valid results.
