Language and culture interrelationship as the basis of intercultural communication teaching

Language and culture interrelationship, the necessity of their studying is out of question. The essential peculiarities of the language and culture come out only when interrelating and studying the languages as well as cultures in comparison. Only exceeding the limits of one's culture, that is in other words, colliding with other outlook, senses and so on, a man begins to realize his place and role in the process of communication. The development of students' habits of intercultural communication such as sensitivity to cultural differences, respect to a unique culture of any nation, tolerance to unusual behaviour, wish for positive reaction to all unexpected, readiness to react the changes, versatility in reaching alternative decisions and lacking of raising too high expectations from communication with representatives of other cultures are the main goal of intercultural education component. These habits are the links to understanding of representatives of other cultures and peoples, to settling conflicts, as well as the basis for international and interethnic communication of Russian people both in the country and abroad.
