Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to determine the role of intercultural communication in the realization of multicultural education. The significance of the article lies in the qualitative research based on the method of analysis of the materials on intercultural communication and multicultural education. It is revealed that intercultural communication is a broader concept than interlingual communication and can be presented as communication of citizens of one country belonging to different ethnic groups of a multinational state. It is showed that the coexistence of various ethnic groups in one social and territorial space may lead to the rapid actualization of the problem of interethnic communication with the manifestations of ethnocentrism. It is proved that cross-cultural education of individuals and groups orients at overcoming ethnocentrism and is an important part of the concept of multicultural education as the formation of students’ skills of cross-cultural awareness. It is concluded that multicultural education can be considered as culture of interethnic communication fully corresponding to the principles of intercultural interaction.
