INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Аннотация

The article deals with the intercultural communication in foreign language teaching. Intercultural communication plays an important role in the learning process of a foreign language. It means that students should not only have a good command of a foreign language, but also correctly understand the national culture of the country of the studied language, the mentality of the speakers of this language, the features of their daily life, traditions and customs, both verbal and non-verbal. Customs and traditions are an integral part of the spiritual culture of each people. As an intermediate link, they find expression in the act of communication in speech intentions, for example, in congratulations or in non-verbal means expressing traditional norms of behavior in a particular situation.
