Developing the operational component of intercultural competence of non-linguistic majoring students

Pedagogical practice shows that currently a number of methods are used aimed at developing intercultural competence, the complexity of which is due to its multi-component structure and the need to take into account a number of components included in it. In the structure of intercultural competence, a special place is occupied by the operational component, due to the search for didactic tools for its development. A set of speech warm-up exercises is a teaching tool, the use of which contributes to the development of the operational component of intercultural competence, cultural awareness, as well as the removal of the language barrier of students in non-linguistic areas. As part of the study, the authors turned to theoretical and empirical methods: analysis of scientific literature on the research problem, synthesis, specification, comparison, generalization, observation and pedagogical experiment. The practical significance of the research results lies in revealing the potential of tools that contribute to the development of the operational component of intercultural competence.
