Pedagogical conditions for teaching foreign language intercultural interaction of students based on the case method

The work is devoted to identifying and substantiating the list of pedagogical conditions for teaching foreign language intercultural interaction of students based on the case method. At the present stage, the case method is one of the modern methods of problem learning, based on the students’ analysis of specific situations. The case method can be used in the development of the skills of foreign language intercultural interaction of students. However, in order to achieve the effectiveness of the proposed teaching methods, it is necessary to identify and substantiate a number of pedagogical conditions. Based on the analysis of pedagogical and methods literature on the use of distance and information and communication technologies in foreign language teaching, as well as methods and approaches to teaching foreign language intercultural interaction of students, a list of such conditions is proposed. There are four of them: a) students’ proficiency in a foreign language at the B1 level and above; b) the ability and readiness of a foreign language teacher to draw up cases aimed at developing the skills of intercultural interaction; c) the ability and readiness of students for collective interaction in the process of completing cases; d) sequential execution of the stages of the cases. The work provides a detailed description of each of the pedagogical conditions.
