ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES TO DETERMINING INTERCULTURAL AND INFORMATIONAL COMPETENCE

Abstract

The article deals with the problems and analyzes of approaches to the definition of intercultural-informational competence and the essential characteristics of the concepts of intercultural communication, intercultural competence, as well as ways of forming each component of this competence by means of information technologies. Intercultural competence is currently an area of ​​research in which new approaches and perspectives are emerging year after year. The authors conclude that the success of intercultural communication is largely due to the presence of motivation among its participants (openness to learning about a foreign culture, etc.), emotional mood (positive reaction to different behavior, ability to overcome stereotypes, etc.) and personal qualities (tolerance, empathy, values, etc.). Given this general assessment of the importance of the personal aspect in intercultural communication, we consider it as an integral part of intercultural competence, which must be equally developed among students. This study was conducted with the aim of developing the intercultural competence of students and increasing their digital knowledge and   strengthening intercultural communication.
