In the modern world, language is a mechanism of intercultural communication, a means of peoples’ mutual understanding, self-development and enrichment of the inner world, a means of direct acquaintance with the achievements of foreign literature, culture and technology. The language functions within a certain culture, and the student of a foreign language should be familiar with the peculiarities of this culture, the specific use of language in this culture.   

The culture of interethnic communication is a person's respectful attitude towards people of different nations, respect for their culture, history, and national dignity. Education of students in the spirit of the culture of interethnic communication in the process of teaching foreign languages is carried out in the education system.  The communication of knowledge, the implementation of skills and abilities at all levels of education is linked with the gradual formation of a personality whose ideals of interethnic culture become the content of his\her life. To combine teaching foreign languages and education in the spirit of the culture of interethnic communication, it is necessary to create a research, methodological and pedagogical system which provides a combination of these two processes.
