INNOVATIVE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE “INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS” IN BUSINESS EDUCATION
SUMMARY:
One of the most important features of our time is the growing number of people who are in contact with cultures other than their own. The processes associated with the phenomenon of globalisation involve regular contacts in various fields between representatives of different cultures. This situation requires solving practical problems and issues of cultural adaptation of representatives of one culture in the territory of another cultural community. The article is devoted to the issue of using innovative and information technologies in teaching the discipline “Intercultural Communication”. The article analyses the concepts of “communication”, “intercultural communication”, “speech etiquette”. The problem of forming an individual’s ability to effective intercultural communication as a means of understanding the mental characteristics of different cultures, which is a guarantee of effective dialogue of cultures in the modern world, is considered. The purpose of the article is to show the advantages of using computer technologies on the example of teaching the discipline “Intercultural Communication”, how innovative technologies can become an effective means of teaching a course on intercultural communication today. The role of multimedia activities in solving intercultural communication problems is revealed. The article also analyses the study of the practical activities of teachers of the Department of Foreign Languages in teaching this discipline. The novelty of the study lies in the comparison of the interactive potential of innovative and information technologies used for teaching students. Based on their practical experience, teachers demonstrate the possibilities of these technologies in online and offline modes in organising extracurricular activities, stimulating students’ independent cognitive activity, and creating conditions for individual and group learning activities. The obtained research results and the analysis of publications show that the issue of using innovative and non-standard means in the study of the discipline “Intercultural Communications” is extremely complex and significant. The article concludes that the content of the concepts of “innovative and information technologies” and “intercultural communication” and its importance for the professional activity of future specialists is defined.
