Abstract

The article proposes a definition of the concept of intercultural foreign language communicative competence as a personal resource that determines a person's ability to effectively realize himself in the conditions of intercultural communication. It is emphasized that the formation of the intercultural foreign language communicative competence of students in grades 5-6 of the gymnasium is based on a systemic, personality-oriented and activity-based approach, which largely determines the selection of educational material, methods, forms and means of teaching taking into account the age characteristics and potential of students of the gymnasium, their educational needs and the content potential of the material, its role in the formation of the IFLCC and the construction of systematic work in foreign language lessons. The didactic essence of intercultural foreign language communicative competence of students in grades 5–6 of gymnasiums, characterized by target, motivational, cognitive, activity, emotional-evaluative, reflexive aspects has been determined. A special role is given to the characterization of situational tasks that contribute to the transition of students from activities in an educational situation to activities in a real life situation that meets the requirements of competence-based learning. It was found that the formation of intercultural foreign language communicative competence should become a key task of teaching a foreign language in general secondary schools, especially in primary and specialized schools. It is emphasized that to ensure the effectiveness of this process, it is important for teachers to take into account the age characteristics of students, the achievements of modern teachers and psychologists, the requirements of the State Standard.
