Abstract

The need to study foreign/second languages as a crucial part of their national cultures, the implementation of the principle of the dialogue of cultures in foreign language teaching methodology is regulated by the Federal Educational Standards and recognized by the professional community in Russia. However, these principles are not fully implemented in the course books and hence in the language classrooms due to lack of understanding of theoretical foundations of the new paradigm by researchers and classroom teachers. The aim of the paper is to analyze the paradigmatic foundations of the intercultural approach to foreign language education in universities. The paper discusses anthropocentric paradigm and its application in the culture-oriented approaches and related teaching strategies in the language classrooms. The paper stresses that the relevance of implementing the intercultural approach in foreign language education in Russia is due not only to its proven innovative status and high linguistic, methodological and axiological potential, but also its role in the current geopolitical situation in the world.
