Abstract With a globalized and growing world market, companies and educational institutions are getting more and more ambitious to re-orient their work patterns to the international level. Universities reacted to the demands of the globalized economy for flexibility and adaptability by the internationalization of their study programs. Research question: Do stays abroad and therefore intercultural experiences of students actually promote occupational competences and personal development? Design: In order to investigate this relationship, an online survey was employed, and a sample of N = 367 students, who had spent at least one semester abroad before, was recruited. The questions were aimed at measuring characteristics of the participants’ stays abroad, as well as occupational engagement, resilience, intercultural competence personality characteristics related to job performance. Results: The findings suggest that experience abroad can partly enhance employability by serving as an additional job qualification. The results reveal that people who have experienced a stay abroad show higher work and study commitment and are more ambitious regarding their work. Furthermore, people with experience abroad show higher levels of resilience. They are more active concerning problem solving and have higher abilities to maintain emotional distance to work. Additionally, people show the more cultural intelligence the longer they stay abroad. Regarding the manifestation of cultural intelligence, the contact quality with the host country nationals played a significant role. It was evinced that higher contact quality is associated with higher values of cultural intelligence. Regarding occupational performance capacity, the results highlight that participants with a stay abroad are more dominant in an occupational context, i.e., they are more oriented towards superiority above others. Value: The present study contributes to the understanding of relevant personal skills and characteristics in intercultural contexts and of how personality might affect the process of becoming more competent. By demonstrating that stays abroad can increase certain work-related competences for students this study indicates that companies and educational institutions should spend more recourses on fostering experiences abroad of students and workers, in order to stay in tune with the requirements of globalization.

Goals And Objectives

The article reveals the essence of the concept of "intercultural competence of the future lawyer", which is to be interpreted as an integrative, multileveled, professional personal quality that synthesizes a set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, determined by the goals and objectives of intercultural communication on the basis of mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual enrichment. Intercultural competence is considered as an integral system which consists of certain components, relatively independent, but interrelated and interdependent. These include: communicative, socio-cultural, motivational-value, affective, cognitive ones. It is proved that the formation of intercultural competences of lawyers will promote the application of innovative methods and forms of training (business / role games, debates, discussions, disputes, modellings, simulations, etc.), among which intercultural training is of particular importance. The latter aims at familiarizing its participants with intercultural differences, role-playing the specially created situations of intercultural communication that help students in better understanding of the existing cultural differences, and to teach them to build their relationships with representatives of other cultural environments on the basis of tolerance. In this regard, it will be efficient to organize and conduct such trainings as: "Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms", "Communication in the work of a lawyer"; "Working with vulnerable groups of clients of the system of free legal aid"; "My professional development"; "International humanitarian law", "All are equal – all are united", etc. Also important are intercultural workshops aimed at cultivating tolerance, for example, "Tolerance. Prevention of xenophobia", "Intercultural communication and ethnic stereotypes", etc.

In accordance with the European and world tendencies of professional training of military personnel, it is mandatory to emphasize the problem of forming the intercultural competence among cadets of higher military educational institutions. The process of formation of such a competence should be experimentally approved. The general approaches to the structure of the experimental research program are analyzed and the necessity of a systematic approach to the formulation of the principles of scientific research, which are a means of proving the research hypothesis, is substantiated. The program of the pedagogical experiment, aimed at testing the hypothesis, is described, which assumes that the level of intercultural competence of cadets of higher military educational institutions increases under the condition of involvement in the process of active communication by means of intercultural dialogue in the process of learning foreign languages, which reproduces the substantive and social content of professional competences in the process of mastering cultural knowledge and communication skills during reproductive, cognitive-exploratory, research and creative activities. Tasks, stages, methods of experimental research are characterized. The stages and directions of introduction of the author's model of formation of intercultural competence of higher military educational institutions cadets in the process of foreign language training in accordance with structural components (motivational-value, cognitive-linguistic, communicative-strategic and evaluative-reflexive) are revealed.

School Training

Bilingual education (BE) is widely recognised as a complex phenomenon, which constitutes a priority for key educational institutions and organisations. However, further research is needed to uproot common beliefs such as that bilingual students can easily interact with two or more cultures. The literature affirms that BE students need specific school training to improve intercultural competence. The main aim of this study is to describe the design and validation of a questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions of intercultural practices at bilingual schools. The validity of content and comprehension was carried out through the Delphi method, for which three methodological phases were established. The reliability of the scale (internal consistency) was measured through the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Factorial analysis was used to check the validity of the construct. The psychometric parameters of the scale were obtained from a pilot sample of 40 students, and later from a sample of 213 students from bilingual secondary schools in several European countries (i.e., The Netherlands, Hungary, Germany, France, England, among others). As a major conclusion, we can state that this questionnaire can be used as a tool for two research goals: the identification of good intercultural school practices in BE, and the development of relevant guidelines for the incorporation of intercultural education into BE.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that intercultural competence should be inherent in almost every professional, especially in the socionomic professions. This article describes the necessary prerequisites for conceptualizing the model of intercultural competence of future professionals in socionomic professions. The purpose of this article is to proceed on the basis of the generalization on the conceptualization of the model of intercultural competence of specialists of socionomic professions taking into account the challenges and requirements of modern society. We used theoretical methods in the study, namely analysis, abstraction, generalization, explanation and classification. The author analyzes the most typical and used definitions of the studied phenomenon, which are found in the scientific achievements of researchers and the basic concepts that underlie their interpretations. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature on this problem, we have attempted to identify and characterize the leading structural components of intercultural competence of socionomic professions: motivational, cognitive, activе, communicative, conative. Based on the generalization of theories and models of intercultural interaction and intercultural competence of researchers, an attempt was made to define the conceptualization of the model of intercultural competence of socionomic professions taking into account modern challenges. The development of this model will provide a fuller understanding of intercultural competence in the context of the peculiarities of the professional activities of specialists in socionomic professions and understanding the approaches to its formation. Further understanding of the relationships between the components of intercultural competence and the leading factors, that have a significant impact on them, will be the basis for producing hypotheses on their nature and detailing of character of relationships between them, which will allow us to understand the system of intercultural competence of socionomic professions in higher educational institutions.
