| Annotation: | The publication based on the materials of the conducted research examines the features of the development of intercultural communication skills among young students, taking into account the experience of universities in Russia and China. The emphasis is on the role of the linguistic personality and the application of digital technologies. The article is based on the analysis of some approaches to vocational education and takes into account the results of a survey of 100 students from three universities in Russia and China. The connection between the formation of a linguistic personality, the level of formation of intercultural communication skills and the use of digital technologies is revealed. The results of the work show that the linguistic personality is ready to successfully express thoughts, is tolerant to understand others, and build communication in various directions when adapting and working in multicultural teams. Virtual platforms for communication and online learning, as an example of digital technology, helps to consolidate the language skills of intercultural communication and increases the confidence of young students as members of multicultural teams. The developed educational strategies have become the basis of the experience gained in this area at universities in Russia and China. This kind of experience presupposes the presence of a certain educational environment of the university with a multicultural background and a special unique assessment system: testing, questionnaires, readiness monitoring, control, analysis, correction and development of prospects. The mentioned strategies are aimed at improving students’ adaptation to the language learning environment and provide empirical support in studying the characteristics of the development of intercultural communication skills. We are confident that relying on the experience of universities and the development level of students` language personality will ensure effective adaptation of students to the educational environment, teamwork and qualitatively increase the level of intercultural communication skills development, both during training and during professional activity. | ||
