COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS PARTICIPANTS IN A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY
The interaction problems between three categories of intercultural communication actors (foreign and Russian students, teaching staff) in a technical university are considered in the article. The Russian engineering school has a well-deserved reputation in the world, however, those who come to study in our country will not only have to master special knowledge and get a diploma, but also face a number of difficulties in the educational process, including the fact that when communicating, its participants do not always have the necessary knowledge and skills for more effective and productive interaction, which not only affects the quality of the knowledge acquired by foreign students, but also the reputation of Russian higher education abroad. In the majority of relevant studies, attention is paid to the issues of adaptation of foreign students studying in Russia, but the problems of adaptation of Russian students and teachers to participants of the educational process representing a wide variety of cultures, traditions, ways of thinking, etc. are touched upon to a lesser extent. The article also offers some recommendations for the creation of working intra-university groups, where all participants of the educational process develop their communicative and intercultural competencies, which should contribute to improving the academic adaptation of foreign students.
