International Culture as a Pedagogical and Sociocultural Problem

Abstract

In the context of globalization, expanding international cooperation, and intensifying intercultural contacts, the problem of developing an international culture has become particularly relevant. Modern society places new demands on the training of specialists capable of functioning effectively in a multicultural environment, respecting representatives of different nationalities and cultures, and participating in constructive intercultural dialogue. This article examines international culture as a complex pedagogical and sociocultural phenomenon. Theoretical approaches to understanding the essence of international culture, its structural components, and its functions in the educational space are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the role of higher education and foreign language teaching in shaping students' international culture. The need to integrate an intercultural component into the educational process is substantiated as a crucial condition for training competitive specialists in a globalized world.
