Keywords:
models of intercultural communication, student training, professional tasks, intercultural competence, university teaching
Abstract
In an era marked by rapid globalization and deglobalization, the importance of intercultural competence has never been more pronounced. This study addresses the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field of intercultural communication. By analyzing key models proposed by E. T. Hall, G. Hofstede, and R. Lewis, and using a comparative methodology, this research develops practical tasks designed to enhance the intercultural competence of future specialists. These tasks are integrated into educational curricula, focusing on real-world scenarios that students are likely to encounter in professional settings. The results highlight the necessity of culturally aware manpower in various fields and demonstrate the effectiveness of practical training in fostering intercultural understanding and cooperation. This research underscores the critical role of intercultural competence in professional and social contexts, advocating for its inclusion in university education programs to prepare students for the complexities of global interactions.
