BASIC POINTS IN DEVELOPING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE
Abstract
This article mainly has some significant discussion point on the development of intercultural competence in higher education students. As nowadays this competence is considered one of the most vital aspect of perfect foreign language specialists, having relevant solutions for the improvement of the competence, we think that, is the most vital matter for both language teachers and students. Here some ways are going to be considered as alternatives of our aim in education, as the intercultural competence is utterly necessary skill in this global internationalized era. The ideas as dialogic approach and student-centered methods can be somehow relevant solutions for the competence`s development.
