DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE WITH AUTHENTIC TEXTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LESSONS IN THE FIELD OF NON-PHILOLOGY
Abstract
This article is devoted to the use of authentic texts in the process of teaching English language for development of students’ general cultural competence in the field of non-philological field. We attempted to determine the importance and necessity of using authentic texts and their role in teaching foreign languages. It is not secret that language is a mirror of culture. This shows that learning language and culture are closely related. Authentic materials are the best type of materials for developing the intercultural communicative competence of foreign language learners. Authentic materials help bridge the gap between the classroom and the outside world, bringing reality into the classroom. Through this, the language learner will have the opportunity to learn the language under study in the context of the culture of the speakers of that language. In addition, the article presents various options for using real materials in the course of the lesson.
