N2  - The  aim of this research  is  to  assess  the level of intercultural 
competence (IC) of state junior high school English teachers  and  to 
reveal whether the four regencies,  Sleman, Bantul, Gunung Kidul, 
Kulon Progo, and one city, Yogyakarta affect their IC level. 
This research  was  descriptive quantitative using a sample 
survey design to collect the information from only a fraction of 
respondents of the whole population. It was conducted in several state 
junior high schools in Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY). The 
respondents  were  260 state junior high school English teachers 
established using the probability cluster sampling  technique  from the 
total population of 790 English teachers. The data were collected using 
a questionnaire adapted from Pestalozzi Programme and Intercultural 
Cities project of the Council of European Commission and the 
European Wergeland Centre (2012). It was used to measure the degree 
of IC along  with its three elements, namely attitude, skill, and 
knowledge. The questionnaire had been piloted and it consisted of 40 
items which were valid  at the significance level of 0.05 and reliable 
with  the  Alpha index of .880.  The  data were analyzed using the 
arithmetic mean as criteria and Kruskal Wallis test. 
The findings of this research show that the level of intercultural 
competence (IC) of state junior high school English teachers  is high 
(mean score = 156.38)  along  with the mean score of intercultural 
attitude (IA) = 30.55, intercultural skill (IS) = 89.98, and intercultural 
knowledge (IK) = 37.84. These indicate that the teachers perceive well 
on what they have understood pertinent to cultural differences, values, 
and norms so that they are able to easily input several cultural elements 
into their teaching-learning process and they could assist their students 
to acquire the intercultural competence (IC) properly. This research also 
found that there are no significant differences of IC levels of the state 
junior high school English teachers in DIY. It means that the Regency 
of  Sleman, Bantul, Gunung Kidul, Kulon Progo, and  the City of 
Yogyakarta do not affect their IC level.
