Abstract

The article deals with a set of issues related to the theoretical understanding, development and implementation in educational practice of professional training of future intercultural-communication specialists who study four foreign languages in parallel and sequentially, and integrated methodology for the formation of professional multilingual communicative competence and professional skills.

Taking into account the latest achievements of domestic methodological science in integrated teaching of foreign languages and professional disciplines, the concepts of foreign linguodidacts, CLIL (Content and Language integrated learning), and ILCHE (Integrating language and content in higher education), the authors theoretically substantiate an integrated approach to the processes of forming students’ professional multilingual communicative competence and the development of key components of their professional ability to realize an equal status intercultural dialogue with potential foreign partners, including such productive skills as: listening to a partner, controlling emotions, making concessions, reaching consensus, focusing on positive, etc.

The authors substantiate the thesis that one of the most important qualities of intercultural communication specialists is communicative resourcefulness, the development of which is qualified as a competitive advantage in an equal status intercultural dialogue. As a result of an objective analysis of the process of integrated teaching multilingualism and the basics of professional intercultural communication to linguistics students, the authors determine the difficulties of its implementation, among which the most significant are organizational and psychological difficulties, as well as options for their elimination.
