METHODOLOGICAL RATIONALE FOR DESIGNING THE PEDAGOGICAL PROCESS OF PREPARING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FOR CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

As part of the ongoing research, the need to prepare students for cross-cultural communication as a personal and professionally important result of higher education is updated. It is noted that such training is relevant for students of all areas of training. The purpose of the article is to characterize the theoretical and methodological framework that ensures the systematic design of the pedagogical process of preparing university students for cross-cultural communication. Within the framework of the article, an analysis of the scientific prerequisites of the process under study is carried out, the justification of the methodological basis is given, ensuring its focus and consistency, and the applied significance of methodological approaches is determined. As a result of the study, the characteristics of the leading methodological foundations of the study are presented. It is proven that reliance on the provisions of systemic, ethnocultural and contextual approaches ensures the purposefulness of the process under study and determines the ways of its implementation within the educational process of the university. Scientific novelty can be seen in the substantiation of methodological approaches and principles that will be taken into account in the process of designing the process of cross-cultural training of students. The theoretical significance lies in the possibility of using the obtained results when developing models of the process under study. The practical significance is determined by the applicability of the findings for the design of forms and methods of pedagogical interaction carried out in the multicultural environment of the university.
