In this study, we sought to measure specific changes in Vietnamese higher education students’ intercultural communicative competence, drawn from the theoretical frameworks of intercultural communicative competence and student engagement. By adopting a concurrent mixed-method approach, this study aims to generate a fresh insight into how Vietnamese college students can learn English by engaging in TED Talks to support their acquisition of intercultural experiences. Findings showed changes in the student participants’ levels of engagement in intercultural communicative competence, both cognitively and behaviourally. For the purpose of filling missing literature and providing pedagogical implications, this publication also proposes future research avenues in order to fill literature gaps and discover further pedagogical implications
