DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2019-5-130-141
The article considers the issue of the importance of cross-cultural competence of the subjects of the educational environment. It examines the socio-cultural and language barriers within cross-cultural situations, determines the difficulties experienced by the communicants and their preparedness level to communicative interaction. Authors note that the crosscultural situation occurs not only during communication of the representatives of different nationalities, but also when teachers communicate with children of migrants, with students of different religions, with children with special educational needs. The article presents the results of a survey of students of the Mari State University concerning their readiness for communicative interaction in conditions of a cross-cultural situation. The University has students of the Mari, Russian, Tatar, Chuvash, Georgian, Armenian, Chechen, Udmurt, Bashkir and other nationalities, as well as foreign students from India, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Hungary, Finland, and other countries. All of them exercise different religions (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, etc.), so they are guided by their own rules of communication and adhere to their values. The results of the survey show that as the main and first difficulty foreign students name the language barrier experienced by them when they come to study in another country. They also mention social and cultural differences, which render communicative interaction difficult. The article presents quantitative and qualitative indicators of high, medium and low levels of readiness for communicative interaction in a cross-cultural situation.
