Developing Intercultural Competence in Students - Philologists through Literature
Keywords:
intercultural literacy, intercultural competence target culture, intercultural skills.Abstract
The focus of attention in this article is exploration of cultural messages conveyed by literary texts which are used as instruments for raising cultural awareness of students-philologists. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the actual intercultural potential of fictional discourse for understanding otherness and developing students' linguosociocultural competence. The re- search is based on the experience of analyzing English literary texts with English philology students but the techniques used are applicable for studying culture in any foreign language.
