The issue of understanding the essence and creating a system with polylingual and polycultural components of education in order to develop future teachers of foreign languages and LSP (language for specific purpose) in close cooperation with world culture, is relevant today. Formation of polyculturalism and polylingualism with future teachers of foreign languages and teachers of languages for specific purposes as personal and professional qualities of modern specialists involves solving a number of things, including students' mastery of knowledge about the culture of their people as a condition of spiritual integration into other cultural worlds; study of different cultural models through acquaintance with religion, traditions, art of the peoples of the country and the world; formation of beliefs about the equality of all cultures and the inadmissibility of recognition of a single cultural model; formation of a culture of tolerance as a tool of intercultural and interethnic communication; study of democratic values and on this basis the formation of the qualities of a citizen of the country - Europe - the world; formation of skills and abilities of productive interaction and cooperation in a polycultural / multicultural environment; formation of an active position of students against cultural aggression, cultural discrimination and cultural vandalism. The results of the study define a polycultural and polylingual personality as one who speaks several languages, is seen as a subject of cultural polylogy, has an active life position, developed feelings of empathy and tolerance, is emotionally stable and capable of productive professional activity in cultural diversity. The formation of a polycultural and polylingual personality of the future teacher of foreign languages and LSP, capable of dialogic intercultural communication, should become a necessary component of professional and personal development of the student in the process of gaining qualifications and/or degree in the modern education system.
