DISCURSIVE ASPECT OF THE FORMATION OF CIVIC IDENTITY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of the formation of the civic identity of schoolchildren through the use of intercultural discourse. The relevance of the study is due to the need to consider the discursive aspect of the quality under consideration and the process of its formation. The authors identified a contradiction between the recognition of the potential for the use of intercultural discourse in the formation of the civic identity of schoolchildren and the insufficient study of the discursive aspect of the formation of the studied quality. The purpose of the study within the framework of the article is to study the formation of the civic identity of schoolchildren through the prism of discursiveness. To achieve the goal, the authors solved the following problems: they revealed the concept of “civic identity” and its component composition through the prism of the discursive aspect; clarified the concept of “intercultural discourse” in relation to the topic of research; revealed the cross-cultural-discursive nature of the content of foreign language instruction to shape civic identity.
