Abstract
This paper aimed at exploring and discussing modern methods of teaching and learning of inter-cultural communication in higher school. To fulfil the study, both general scientific methods and methods of a number of humanities were applied including an inter-disciplinary approach and philosophy of synergetics. The survey and interviews with direct questions were conducted among students. As the result of the research, discussions on methods of introducing students cross-cultural knowledge and practical skills were held, and the preferences of the students on the issues of learning and teaching intercultural communication were revealed. The most effective methods and approaches to teaching and learning inter-cultural communication in higher school are the philosophy of synergetics and the dialogue style of communication in the classroom. A key challenge for further research is to identify dimensions for inter-cultural competence measurement.
Keywords: Inter-cultural communication, philosophy of synergetics, dialogue style, inter-disciplinary approach.
