Cross-cultural competence formation for future teachers in integration processes

Abstract

The article is devoted to the improvement of cross-cultural competence for future teachers. The study aims to develop directions and tools for the cross-cultural competence of teachers at different levels of organization and regulation of teaching education in the conditions of integrative processes. The study's central hypothesis is that cross-cultural competence cannot be formed by implementing educational programs and requires an integrated approach at all levels of the pedagogical process. The relevance of the methods and tools for the cross-cultural competence formation of the future teacher in the conditions of integration processes is determined by three factors: transformation of the labor market, aggravation of intercultural perception problems in the world, insufficient amount of scientific research on this topic. The research methods are used: analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, induction, and deduction. The study results allowed to form recommendations for the cross-cultural competence development of the future teacher at the individual, teaching, institutional and regulatory levels. The main content of the recommendations is the possibility of organizing practical communication experiences between students of different nationalities. The study's practical significance consists in the possibility of its use in the educational programs of pedagogical institutions of higher education.
