FORMATION OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF STUDENTS-LINGUISTS BY MEANS OF THE FOREIGN PRESS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF JOURNALISTIC ARTICLES IN ENGLISH)

Abstract

The work discusses one of the ways to form intercultural communication skills through working with the text of a news article. In the course of the research, the authors come to the conclusion that an analysis of a text contributes to motivation in the study of culture, history, stylistics of the English language, the desire for deeper knowledge in literature, the history of the language, without which it is impossible to analyze the text. It is shown that improving the communicative competence of students of a foreign language, in particular, English, involves the development of communicative skills in four main types of activities – reading, speaking, listening, writing – and is also aimed at expanding vocabulary and knowledge of grammatical structures, at deepening the skills of linguistic and stylistic analysis of various types of texts. Within the framework of this study, intercultural communication skills have been identified, which can be formed by students of linguistics in the process of working with the foreign press.
