Today there is an increase in the number of people willing to learn English, which is due to the desire to communicate fluently with foreigners, get an education abroad, read foreign literature, watch foreign channels, communicate online, find high-paying jobs in Ukraine and develop comprehensively. A well-developed personality has a better ability to learn something new, feels free and more confident in communicating with other people, as perfect command of English has recently become an integral skill of modern educated people. It is known that language knowledge and relevant speaking skills form the language competence of students; regional, country and linguistic knowledge - socio-cultural and sociolinguistic competence; speaking skills - speaking competence of students. All the types of competences form students' foreign language communicative competence, the development of which is especially important in foreign language teaching. The speed and quality of the formation of communicative competence largely depend on the level of the formation of students' general educational competence. Nowadays one of the dominant methods of foreign languages teaching is communicative. The main purpose of the communicative method is to teach students to communicate with interlocutors. This method harmoniously combines many methods and ways of teaching foreign languages, so it is the basis for the evolution of various educational methods. In the process of learning by this method, students develop communicative competence - the ability to use the language depending on the specific situation. They develop the skill of communication during the communication. According to this aspect, all the exercises and tasks must be communicatively justified by the lack of information, choice and reaction. Communicatively oriented learning task encourages students to work, because it evokes a sense of achievement, confidence, creates a joyful and pleasant atmosphere of learning, promotes a sense of responsibility, expands interests, ensures the use of information from other school subjects. The experience has shown that language material is easier to learn in this way than learning isolated words and grammar rules. The communicative approach is aimed at organizing the learning process, adequate to real communication, because it involves modeling the basic patterns of communication. Communicative (speaking) orientation means that when mastering speaking material (phonetics, vocabulary, grammar), the final step is to demonstrate how the speaking material intended for study can be used to achieve relevant communication in a foreign language.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of foreign language education – the definition of the role of interpretation in preparing students of special (language) directions to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Interpretation is considered as a phenomenon and as a way of comprehending reality, which allows the subjects of the dialogue of cultures to reach mutual understanding. The main characteristic of interpretation, which is necessary for the purposes of foreign language education, is its psychological character. It is determined by the psychology of the author, the psychology of the work, as well as the psychology of the reader-interpreter. It is proved that the interpretation of a work of art, which has universal, historical and personal plans, has huge epistemological and axiological possibilities. They activate the entire educational potential of interperetation (educational, developmental, cognitive, and educational). Russian Russian poet A. A. Fet (1820–1892) uses the poem “Wir saßen am Fischerhaus” by the famous German poet and publicist Heinrich Hein (1797–1856) and the translation of this poem into Russian to illustrate the interpretation technology. The poem is considered as a space of personal meanings of the author. They are the ones that are subject to interpretation and bring the reader-interpreter back from the poet's world to the modern real world. And the real world is full of unexpected cultural facts, closely related to the content of the work of G. Heine, with distant Lapland and the life of modern lapps. Thus, interpretation is presented as an educational strategy. Together with the strategies of contextualization, philologization and argumentation, it ensures the achievement of the main goal of foreign language education – the creation of an individual who can act as a genuine subject of the dialogue of cultures. The article also emphasizes the importance of the teacher as the organizer of the educational process and the subject of the dialogue of cultures.

Analysis of the theoretical material of the research helps further investigate the process of learning a foreign language by postgraduates within departmental educational milieu and define the foreign-language communicative competence of a research academician. In accordance with the logic of the presented research, the author uses a complex of complementary methods. They are theoretical research (systematic and theoretical analysis, studying the references in Pedagogy and Methodology of teaching a foreign language, comparative analysis of the Russian and foreign experience, considers the peculiarities of the content of research academicians training in a foreign language), pedagogical research (discussion, supervision, interview). The author stresses the necessity to improve the substantive component of foreign language training of the researcher, taking into account the professional orientation, the use of professional terminology by those who are engaged in research activities. That makes them capable of doing interpretation, précis-writing and abstracting scientific papers in English, thus building their foreign-language communicative competence. The author concludes that in the educational process it is advisable to use a manual, an interactive dictionary and a thesaurus for the successful organization of the process of building the foreign-language communicative competence of the research academician. The content of the materials mentioned above should be aimed at forming postgraduates’ readiness to participate in Russian and international research teams and use modern scientific terminology in a foreign language in various international scientific and representative conferences.

Abstract UNESCO and many other organisations worldwide have been working on approaches in education to develop tolerance, respect for cultural diversity, and intercultural dialogue. Particularly, the Council of Europe has laid out guiding principles in several documents to promote intercultural competence, following Byram’s and Zarate’s efforts in integrating this important component in language education. The commitment to developing the notion of intercultural competence has been so influential that many countries, e.g., Portugal, have established the intercultural domain as a goal in the foreign language curricula. However, this commitment has been questioned by researchers worldwide who consider that action is needed to effectively promote intercultural competence. The research coordinated by Sercu, for example, suggests that, although foreign language teachers are willing to comply with an intercultural dimension, their profile is more compatible with that of a traditional foreign language teacher, rather than with a foreign language teacher, who promotes intercultural communicative competence. In this study, I propose to examine teachers’ perceptions and beliefs about intercultural communicative competence in a cluster of schools in Portugal and compare these findings with Sercu’s study. Despite a twelve-year gap, the present study draws similar conclusions.
