Abstract

This work analyzes the concepts of intercultural communication, communication, cultural stress, speech etiquette.

The problem of how to form personality skills, through which intercultural communication develops, is considered, which is a means of understanding the characteristics of different cultures, which are a condition for effective dialogue between people in the modern world. The great role of speech etiquette in the process of intercultural communication is proved. The characteristics of intercultural misunderstandings in the process of communication are considered.

Successful acculturation is considered an important task of teaching higher mathematics and physics. So, on the one hand, the model of cultural stress feels the processes and intercultural encounters well. On the other hand, this view contains a hidden temptation to unfairly bifurcate cultural differences that relate to the mixture of a multilingual society and its transculturality. Different cultures have their own traditions and norms of communication. Ignorance of this issue causes many misunderstandings, which can lead to a mismatch of cultures, the emergence and development of a condition, considered cultural stress. Therefore, it is very important to know the norms and traditions of communication of representatives of the people who are participants in a language dialogue, belonging to different national cultures. It is necessary to perceive each other calmly, politely, with respect and understanding, that is, to positively contribute to the development of dialogue and intercultural communication. Which, in turn, contributes to the formation of intercultural communicative behavior. Education today has undergone significant changes from its purpose to the method of teaching. All this has greatly improved the educational process. This is important, because modern education belongs to the highest values ​​of people and the development of society, and the deeper and higher the educational level of a person, the greater and wider his/her opportunities for creating a better and more interesting life. Intercultural communication is one of the forms of contact, conversation and communication. In intercultural communication, it is important to be ready to conduct dialogue and conversation with representatives of other countries. Have the desire and adapt to new conditions and the emergence of various unexpected situations
