PREPARING UNIVERSITY LECTURERS FOR INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE

In today's world, where boundaries between countries are becoming increasingly blurred, the need for intercultural competence is becoming increasingly important. It is especially important to develop this competence among university teachers, who play an important role in training and educating the younger generation. Currently, one of the indicators of a university's competitiveness is the presence of foreign students at the university. There are many such universities in our country. However, the university lecturers are not prepared to work with international students according to a unified curriculum. Each lecturer chooses their own methods of teaching in such groups of students. In this article we suggest a variant of a program to prepare university lecturers for work with multicultural students, which has been successfully implemented at South Ural State University since 2006.
