Lingwistyczno-dydaktyczne refleksje nad obcojęzyczną komunikacją interkulturową
Linguodidactic reflections on intercultural communication in a foreign language

Summary/Abstract: One of the main directions of modernization of both theoretical and applied glottodidactics is included in the concept of foreign language intercultural communication. This points to a necessity of modification of the process of teaching/learning foreign languages, considering re-evaluation of numerous problems of contemporary glottodidactics that have so far seemed unquestionable.In this context, the main aim of the present considerations is to present the followingissues:— determining the main aim of intercultural communication in foreign language teaching,— determining the function of this communication,— presenting the basic conceptual apparatus directly and indirectly pertaining to intercultural communication, with a simultaneous attempt at interpretation of the eight main conceptual terms,— identifying the factors determining intercultural communication (global, base, ethno--cultural and specific factors),— sketching the specifi c factors determining Polish-Russian intercultural dialogue at the background of the so-called myth of Slavic unity,— justifying the formation of the so-called third culture as a result of acculturation.The analysis of the above-mentioned issues served to formulate a number of conclusions regarding: unifi cation of the conceptual apparatus of linguoculturology and intercultural communication; multidimensional study of the specificity of the reflection of culture; description, selection and the study of units of cultural knowledge for didactic purposes; as well as re-evaluation of multiple problems of contemporary glottodidactics.
