English As A Language Of International Communication

Abstract

Any foreign language cannot exist separately in society in the same way as it cannot develop in isolation. It is directly connected and interacts with almost all spheres of public life: politics, economics, art, the military sphere, education and reflects the culture and mentality of the country it represents. It is also worth noting that a foreign language serves as a means of not only interpersonal but also interstate, interethnic, international communication.

When becoming a member of any kind of interethnic contacts, people communicate with representatives of other cultures, and often these cultures have significant differences from each other. First of all, this is reflected in traditions, languages, clothing, norms of social behavior, concerning the work performed, and national cuisine. Often, these factors make communication difficult, and in some cases even impossible. However, these are only private issues of intercultural contacts.
