FORMING PRINCIPLES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION AS PART OF METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

Today, study of foreign languages is becoming extremely relevant in professional training and personal development of specialists, which is one of the important conditions for Russia to get integrated into the world community. Despite the modern integration and globalization processes that are taking place in society as a whole and in education in particular, there is a need to revise the state standards for the training of specialists in philological specialties in order to provide increased importance and priority for the formation of innovative, linguistic and educational competencies. The urgent need of modern society for highly qualified specialists capable of carrying out foreign language communication encourages scientists to actively search for and implement effective technological innovations in educational practice that would take into account the specifics of the subject “Foreign Language” and contribute to improving the level of language and speech training of students of philological specialties. The technological approach in higher education practice means a decisive transition in pedagogical science from the widespread substitution of scientific research with scientific demagogy to the search for truly fundamental and applied pedagogical knowledge that can become a direct productive force in improving educational practice.
