Keywords:
Polycultural competence; philology students; intercultural communication; higher education; globalization; cultural awareness; professional trainingAbstract
In the era of globalization, the role of polycultural competence has become increasingly
significant, especially in the professional training of philology students. This article examines the
importance of enhancing polycultural competence as an integral part of higher education curricula and
the professional development of future philologists. Polycultural competence is understood not only as
the ability to master foreign languages but also as the capacity to perceive, respect, and integrate
diverse cultural values. The study emphasizes that philology students require more than linguistic
knowledge; they must acquire intercultural awareness, tolerance, and adaptability to succeed in
academic and professional settings. Furthermore, the article highlights pedagogical approaches and
institutional strategies aimed at improving students’ readiness for multicultural interaction and
effective communication. By developing polycultural competence, philology students are better
equipped to contribute to intercultural dialogue, global citizenship, and the promotion of mutual
understanding in a pluralistic world.
