USING LINGUISTIC MATERIAL IN THE FORMATION OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE

Abstract

The article focuses on ways of using information and communication technologies, particularly, video recordings created by students, during the English language lessons while teaching lexical and grammar material in order to determine the psychological characteristics of students within the framework of psychological and pedagogical collaboration. Considerable attention is given to the idea of “communication” and methods of identifying potential tourists with help of social and personal markers. The article justifies the idea that videos created by students help the teacher to identify socially vulnerable individuals in class and plan work to resolve their interests. Touching upon the role of stereotypes in intercultural communication the author analyzes the topics of language and culture sources through texts and videos. The article analyses the change of didactic emphasis from informational to cultural instruction, when the goals shift from teaching the key characteristics of the country and stages of social development to overcoming cultural stereotypes and forming competences through modelling intercultural situations.
