At the present stage of society’s development, the issue of forming a personality that is
aware of and accepts the diversity of the world, is able to interact with representatives of
different cultures and languages, is open to new and unusual, takes care of the other, occupies an
active life position, has critical and systematic thinking, and is constantly striving for self-
development and self-improvement. It is such people who ensure the development and social
stability of the world community as a whole. Multilingual education is able to realize this task,
since it has a significant potential for personal development, including its intellectual, emotional,
spiritual and moral, social, cultural and professional development.
One of the main issues in the framework of multilingual education at the moment is the
issue of the formation of a multilingual personality, since it is she who "ensures the development
and social stability of world society as a whole". To date, there is no single well-established set
of competencies required for foreign language training of students in the literature.
Mastering socio-cultural knowledge and skills, students expand their linguistic and
regional knowledge and skills due to new topics about the country of the studied language, its
science, culture, realities, famous people in various types of speech activity: listening, speaking,
reading and writing. The material for teaching listening is authentic texts of an informational and
reference nature: travel guides for tourists, announcements at the airport, train station, in
transport. In addition, students are offered texts that may occur in real life when studying or
visiting the country of the language being studied: weather forecast, news, sports reports,
instructions, interviews.
The process of communicative foreign language education (lesson) is built as a model of
real communication, but it is organized so that the student has the opportunity to learn and
develop himself, to master a foreign language culture, and would not be subjected to training.
