Abstract
The "Introduction to Intercultural Communication" adaptation course is aimed at forming theoretical and practical foundations of intercultural communication, i.e. students' basic knowledge and practical skills of intercultural communication. The course has the following tasks: 1) to provide students with the key concepts of intercultural communication theory, such as 'culture', 'communication', 'intercultural communication', 'cross-cultural communication', 'interdiscourse communication', structure and models of intercultural communication, verbal, non-verbal and paraverbal communication; 2) to teach the basics of intercultural adaptation: acculturation and overcoming culture shock; 3) to reveal the main trends in intercultural communication in the modern world. Simultaneously with the main course, an online course is studied.
