Natural speech communication in non-linguistic environment
Abstract
The article is devoted to the actual problem of intercultural communication, dialogue of cultures. The idea of the interrelation between culture and language is implemented in practice through innovative educational materials representing anthropocentric educational paradigm. The cultural approach helps to enhance the motivation of foreign language learning in non-linguistic environment. The authors show the importance of dialogue of cultures in the process of selecting educational materials designed to motivate students to communicate, exchange information and emotions. The materials are used to teach Russian to foreigners who do not have the natural language environment for communication.
