The article presents the scientific results of research on the problem of using digital technologies in the process of forming students' intercultural communicative competence. Objective: to substantiate the possibilities of using digital technologies among students of a construction college for the formation of intercultural communicative competence. On the basis of an analytical review of the statistical data of Rosstat, to identify with the representatives of which countries students from the Samara region and Russia most of all have to communicate in the course of their studies and as a result of subsequent professional activities. Results of work. An analysis of Rosstat documents showed the largest migration flows from the CIS countries. In the structure of population growth in 2019, the leading places are occupied by Ukraine - an increase of 64.2 thousand people (23% of the total increase in migrants), Tajikistan - 48.4 thousand people (17%); Kazakhstan - 39.2 thousand people (14%). The rest of the world accounts for 10% of the migration increase. The share of foreign labor migrants is 3.1% of the Russian labor force. The share of migration growth in the Samara region due to the CIS countries is 97.9%. These facts indicate that among Russians, the main intercultural communications are carried out not with representatives of the far abroad, but with people from the CIS countries. However, the work on the formation of intercultural communicative competence in educational institutions is carried out mainly in the framework of teaching foreign languages and is aimed at cultures other than those with whom students most often have to deal with in their work. To resolve this contradiction, it is proposed to use the world of hobbies of modern adolescents - communication in social networks and computer games. It was found that among the surveyed college freshmen, 92% are registered on the social network VKontakte, 80% on Instagram, 37% on Facebook. Almost 70% of students spend more than two hours a day at social networks, and 78% play computer games.

The aim of this paper2 is to discuss and emphasize the importance of acquiring and developing intercultural communicative competence (hereinafter ICC) for tourist professionals in the context of strategic advantages of Montenegro as a tourist destination. Montenegro, as a multicultural, multiethnic and multi-confessional country with a very rich and ancient cultural heritage and preserved natural resources, strives for European integration and achieving international competitiveness in the field of tourism through the development of its strategic advantages. In order to achieve progress in tourism industry, it is necessary to apply an interdisciplinary approach, which includes a symbiosis of elements of culture and tradition with the need and demands of modern tourists who want to communicate with the domicile population, or at least with their hosts, as well as to feel comfortable and welcome at the destination they have chosen for their holiday. Therefore, communicative and affective segments must be added to this interdisciplinary approach which inevitably includes the acquisition of new skills in intercultural communication at the international level. Such communication enables the development of ICC through the inclusion of both linguistic and cultural elements of education in tourism and applying the intercultural approach in foreign language teaching. Furthermore, developing intercultural aspects in tourism should be seen as one of core advantages of smaller and still insufficiently affirmed tourist regions, such as Montenegro, especially in these disruptive circumstances of crisis caused by Covid -19 virus.

Different Cultures

In the current literature on foreign language teaching, it has become clear that having the requisite ability of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) to be aware of different cultures, respect them, and interact with people from different cultures is crucial. Language is connected to culture and societies, in which people need to communicate with one another. English as a lingua franca provides a means of communication among different cultures. Thus, English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching classes offer perfect situations to foster ICC. From this viewpoint, this article gives an account to raise awareness of ICC in EFL settings by explaining ICC and its relationship with language, describing the significance of ICC, and illustrating some suggestions in the literature for the enhancement of ICC in EFL classes. This paper seeks to improve EFL teachers’ understanding of intercultural communication and to help them with their classroom practices.

Intercultural Literature

Given current trends in international education, many institutions of higher education in the United States and elsewhere seek to prepare students for life and careers in a globalized world. For many institutions, this means internationalizing curriculum and campus, increasing educational exchange opportunities (for both domestic and international students), and developing intercultural abilities in their students. In the process, several questions arise: (1) which strategies are effective, (2) what research gaps exist, (3) what standards measure quality, and (4) what factors determine the quality and effectiveness of their efforts while lacking evidence about competencies? This article explores a possible response to the questions posed drawing on half a century of experience in educational exchange and intercultural service, a review of the intercultural literature, plus two multinational research projects. These combined efforts led to an expansion and (re)conceptualization of the seminar theme of intercultural effectiveness. Despite more than 50 terms found in the literature (including “intercultural effectiveness”) (see, among others, Byram, 1997; Deardorff, 2004; Edelstein, 2014; Martin and Nakayama, 2000), to describe abilities needed for intercultural interaction, one term emerges as perhaps the most comprehensive and most accurate – intercultural communicative competence (ICC).

Preliminary Study

The lack of intercultural communication skills will likely cause disharmony, misunderstanding, and even conflict in communication. To be successful in communication with native speakers depends on language skills, customs, and cultural knowledge. In the age of global communication, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching goals should be reoriented to cultivate intercultural communication competence (ICC). EFL learners should have this intercultural competence and be sensitive in order to avoid disharmony, misunderstandings, and even conflicts in communication. The main objective of this preliminary study is to reveal the levels of intercultural communicative competence among EFL students at a state university in Indonesia. A survey questionnaire was performed employing a quantitative analysis in this study. Eighty-nine students filled out the ICC questionnaire, which consisted of 20 questions. Findings indicated that most of the students had a low ICC level because they are lack of experience and knowledge in interacting and socializing with people from various cultural backgrounds. In terms of gender differences, the results showed that male students had higher levels of ICC than that female students. This research implied that intercultural topics should be included in the university’s curriculum.

From the point of view of modern linguistic methodology, theoretical and practical value of cultural linguistics as a science that investigates culturally marked language units for the process of professional training of future specialists of preschool education has been analyzed. Cultural linguistic teaching becomes of particular importance in the process of professional training of students majoring in “Preschool education” (specialization: foreign language), because they face the challenge to master the skills of intercultural communication, and thus acquire intercultural communicative competence.
