The topic of our study is relevant due to the current events in different countries concerning the issues of immigrant policy (the civil war in Syria, the situation with refugees from Africa in Europe, relations between the local population and immigrants, etc.). In our study, we analyze the experience of the USA and the Republic of Tatarstan in multicultural education. Traditional approach to teaching other nations’ culture presupposes a study of the history of the country, standards of conduct, sociolinguistics, and other related fields of knowledge. The study allows us to assert that a critical approach to intercultural communication gives an opportunity to look at the world events from another perspective. It helps to develop respect and tolerance towards the representatives of other cultures. The concept of culture, the sense of belonging to a particular nation and self-reliance, the awareness of the language importance and communication in the language, the acquisition of knowledge, the desire to change the repressive environment through dialogue and training are important components of this approach in pedagogy. The article’s materials could be useful for teachers working with multicultural students and interested in ways of increasing motivation of their students. |
