Linguistic tolerance and communicative learning strategies of international students majoring in economics in the international educational space

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of forming language tolerance among foreign students majoring in economics in the context of the international educational space as a component of their professional training. The paper analyzes communicative and didactic approaches to foreign language teaching aimed at developing the ability to communicate correctly, ethically, and interculturally in the field of economics. It has established that modern economic education is based on the integration of fundamental theoretical training, applied orientation, and interdisciplinarity, which determines the growing role of foreign language competence as a tool for professional interaction in a globalized environment. It is substantiated that linguistic tolerance emerges as a derivative of intercultural, communicative, and ethical competences and, at the same time, as a normative and value regulator of economic discourse. The system of analytical, discursive, strategic-communicative, and reflective training exercises focused on working with authentic economic, journalistic, and media texts in English has been analyzed. It is shown in the article that semantic-pragmatic analysis of terminological units, modeling of international negotiation situations, and development of mitigation, argumentation, and consensus-building strategies contribute to the formation of linguistic sensitivity and the prevention of discriminatory interpretations. The article emphasizes the importance of digital platforms, case studies, project-based learning, and business games as means of transferring language knowledge into the realm of a real professional activity. It has been proven that the systematic implementation of these approaches ensures the development of strategic competence, analytical thinking, and communicative responsibility among students. It is concluded that foreign language training for economics students should be viewed as a mechanism for integration into the global sociocultural and economic space and the formation of language tolerance as an integrative quality of a professional personality.
