One of the developed skills to be demanded within the corporate culture during communication with external and internal users of information, goods and services should be cross-cultural literacy of Russian managerial staff. The levels and ways of its formation in such majors as “Cross-cultural communication” and “Cross-cultural management” are described. The use of digital technologies in the teaching process, which contributes to students’ motivation to acquire knowledge in the above-mentioned majors and self-development in this field of knowledge and skills, is proposed.

The author concludes that the issue of the development of cross-cultural competence in students is very deep, and the methodological basis for its use in the educational process requires further efforts to classify, systematize, and search for objective criteria for assessing the obtained results.
