Intercultural communication as a tool for developing global competencies in students in a multinational educational environment

in the context of a modern multinational society, the issue of effective interaction between representatives of different cultures is of particular importance, which is especially relevant for the educational environment. Here, in the process of education and professional training, teachers and students inevitably encounter language and cultural differences, which often become a serious obstacle to successful cooperation and understanding. The conducted research is focused on the study and identification of key communication barriers that students encounter within the framework of international projects, as well as on the development of effective methods for overcoming them. The main goal of the work is to create conditions that would facilitate not only integration, but also full-fledged interaction in the educational environment. To achieve the set objectives, an integrated methodological approach was used, involving a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. The work used such tools as questionnaires, interviews and detailed analysis of specific cases, which made it possible to deeply study the strategies and perceptions of students representing different cultural groups. According to the results of the analysis, the most significant obstacles to effective educational integration were language barriers and stereotypical ideas that affect interpersonal communication. However, it is important to note that students who are actively involved in intercultural interactions demonstrate a high degree of adaptation and achieve more successful results in learning. This was made possible by using the adaptive strategies proposed in the study. Within the framework of this work, a system of methodological approaches was proposed aimed at the formation and assessment of key substantive and competence elements of the educational process. The experiment conducted at the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H. M. Berbekov made it possible to focus on the study of the processes of structuring intercultural interaction associated with the development of global competencies in foreign students. The main attention was paid to the analysis of the collected data, the result of which was their thorough systematization. Based on the materials obtained, conclusions were formulated reflecting the features of intercultural communication in the educational environment and identifying the most effective strategies for its implementation. The content of the article makes a significant contribution to the development of theoretical concepts devoted to intercultural interactions within educational projects. Of particular importance are the conclusions concerning the influence of cultural differences on educational activities and the integration process of students representing different countries and traditions.
