TRAINING IN COOPERATION AS A KIND OF COMPETENCE APPROACH IN THE FORMATION OF THE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF FOREIGN STUDENTS

The article examines the problems of formation of the intercultural communicative competence (hereinafter — the ICC) of the secondary linguistic personality when teaching the language of business communication in the conditions of the dialogue of cultures. The main thesis of the article is that the absence or insufficient formation of the ICC of the students is the cause of errors in the sociocultural plan, the so‑called discommunications. For intercultural business communication, understanding and recognition of culturally conditioned differences in two languages is of great importance. The aim of the work is to theoretically substantiate and develop the technology of training in cooperation for foreigners mastering simultaneously the Russian language and the specifics of business communication in the field of intercultural communication. The hypothesis of the study is based on the assumption that the training of future bachelors of linguistics for participation in the intercultural business communication will be more effective if specifics of technology of training in cooperation from the position of a competence approach in formation of intercultural communicative competence are specified. To study the theoretical and practical aspects of the problem of formation of the intercultural communicative competence of students of the language university, the following research methods were selected: review and analysis of literature (methodological, linguistic, psycholinguistic and psychological‑pedagogical research), analysis of regulatory documents, observation of the educational process in the discipline “Language of business communication”, interviewing and questioning of students studying at the second year of the International Institute of Economics and Linguistics of the Irkutsk State University specializing in “Linguistics”. As a methodological basis of the work the main provisions are used: the personality‑activity approach (L. S. Vygotskii, 1982, P. Ya. Gal’perin, 1966, L. S. Rubinshtein, 2000); the concept of language and secondary linguistic personality (Yu. N. Karaulov, 1987, N. D. Gal’skova, 2006, G. V. Elizarova, 2012); Competence approach to goal‑setting in the field of teaching foreign languages (Milrud R. P., 2000, Misheneva Yu. I., 2014). The proposed technology (stages, methods, techniques, exercises) can serve as a basis for creating teaching aids for teaching students of a language university of the intercultural communication. The results of the research can be used in the course of lectures on the theory of teaching Russian as a foreign language, in the course of improving the qualifications of foreign language teachers.
