THE NECESSITY OF DEVELOPING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE AMONG PHILOLOGY STUDENTS

Abstract

This article examines the critical importance of developing intercultural competence among philology students in today's globalized world. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, the study explores theoretical frameworks, current approaches, and best practices in intercultural competence development within philological education. The findings demonstrate that intercultural competence is not merely a supplementary skill but a fundamental component of modern philological education that enables graduates to navigate diverse cultural contexts, conduct meaningful cross-cultural analysis of texts, and engage effectively in international academic and professional environments.
