FOREIGN LANGUAGE": PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF STUDENTS BY THE CULTURAL DIALOGUE
This article deals with the current issue of patriotic education of students while teaching them a foreign language. The role of “Foreign Language” as an academic discipline in forming the student's personality, modern view on the global world, and system of important human values is pointed out. The results of the empirical research of students are shown. The author comments on the students' answers on their understanding of the term “nationalism”, “patriotism”. The teacher's objective is to train students to consciously work with texts in the original language. However, cultural awareness is the reason for a detailed understanding of native culture rather than the end in itself.
