UNDERSTANDING CULTURAL DIVERSITY AS A MEANS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

This article deals with the issues based on analyzing English literary work as a means of understanding cultural diversity, as well as intercultural communications in the modern world, an increase in their intensity and diversity. The possibility of intercultural interactions, their nature and effectiveness depend on a number of factors, among which auto-and hetero stereotypes existing in representatives of different cultures play a special role. The very concept of intercultural communication is based on the equal cultural interaction of representatives of various linguistic and cultural communities, taking into account their originality, which leads to the need to identify the comparison of foreign and own cultures. While working on this problem we selected works of English fiction, which were included in the base of research and content analysis.  The process of teaching foreign languages consists of many components, with the inviolability of its fundamental foundations, approaches and principles, there are also variable components that require periodic updating. First of all, this is due to the changing living conditions under the influence of technical progress and, accordingly, with the specificity of perception and memorization of each new generation of students who come to universities. The change in the composition of skills and abilities acquired in secondary school, the ways of perceiving and processing information, the modification of the mechanisms of memorization and the formation of long-term memory cannot be overlooked by the teacher of a foreign language, who at a humanitarian university spends more time with students in the classroom than others, and due to smaller groups, it is in closer personal contact with trainees.
