This article is concerned with developing students' intercultural competence through teaching literary analysis as a part of teaching foreign languages and linguistics in higher education. The objective of the research is to design a model of developing intercultural competence through literary analysis in a foreign language class. Modelling was applied as the leading method of the research as it regards the process of IC (intercultural competence) development as a task-oriented and organized pedagogical process. The submitted didactic model should develop the IC through knowledge, skills, a system of values, reflection and positive attitude to the culture under study, so it includes components such as objectives, motivation, organization, content, and evaluation; it determines the pedagogical conditions, organization, teaching methods and tools that together provide the targeted result. The formative experiment introduced the model into practice in a foreign-language class at university and showed positive results in developing the students' intercultural competence. The model provides pedagogical support of the process of developing IC as a part of foreign language teaching and can be applied within language, literature and linguistics-related courses.
