Abstract

This study is an attempt to analyse the problem of the development of the socio-cultural competence of the teachers in the university. The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the development of the socio-cultural competence of the university teachers in the context of the dialogue of cultures. The study was based on a desk review of the terms “professional competence” and “socio-cultural competence”, the authors have proved the interdependence of these concepts and their significance for the pedagogical activity of the university teachers. According to the theoretical analysis, the socio-cultural competence includes the knowledge in the field of common human culture; the readiness to carry out the intercultural communication in the specific social conditions; the communicative behaviour in accordance with the cultural norms and the communicative tolerance. The empirical study was carried out at the Baltic Federal University of Immanuel Kant. 59 teachers took part in the study as respondents. According to the results of the empirical research, 77% of teachers have a low level of formation of the communicative behaviour. It is especially important that the model for the development of a teacher’s socio-cultural competence was developed thanks to the empirical data obtained. The novelty of the research consists in the ability to develop a model according to the principle of the dialogue of cultures, in which the learners are the active participants in the intercultural communication. The developed model can be used both in the refresher courses for the university teachers and in the preparation of the graduate students.
