Read the following statements about Michael Byram’s (1997) Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) model.

I - Savoirs (knowledge) is primarily defined as deep declarative knowledge regarding the core cultural values and historical traditions specific to the target-language country, disregarding social groups and processes.
II - Savoir comprendre (skills of interpreting and relating) requires a learner to interpret a document or event from another culture, explain it, and relate it to documents or events from their own culture, without relying on real-time interaction with a target-culture interlocutor.
III - Savoir s’engager (critical cultural awareness) posits that language teachers should remain politically neutral and guide students to evaluate cultural practices using purely subjective, personal moral codes.
IV - The primary distinction between savoir comprendre and savoir apprendre/faire is that the former operates on existing knowledge and documents, whereas the latter involves acquiring new cultural knowledge and operating it in real-time constraints of social interaction.
V - According to Byram, a speaker who possesses high linguistic competence (fluency, native-like accent, advanced syntax) automatically fulfills the prerequisites for Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC).
