Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the comparative study of teaching cross-cultural communication in Kazakhstan. The project submits recommendation on further enhanced strategies that will help in the development of cross-cultural communication education in line with modern trends in curriculum issues. It concludes that for any meaningful advancement to be made in the education sector there must be a conscious, deliberate, purposeful, directional policy formulation of the implementation of the curriculum. The criteria of formation of critical thinking in students when teaching cross-cultural communication are considered here. Moreover, this paper analyses the problem of motivation of students to use information technology to search for specific information for the understanding of cross-cultural communication.
