Аннотация. Глобализация усилила взаимодействие между представителями различных
культур, значительно изменив социальную, культурную и образовательную сферы.
Межкультурная компетенция — способность эффективно общаться и сотрудничать в
разных культурных контекстах — стала ключевым навыком XXI века. В статье
анализируется связь между глобализацией и межкультурной компетенцией, а также
методы её развития через дисциплины «Cul u al S udies» и «In e cul u al Communica ion».
