Language and Cultural Training of Future Economic Profile Specialists: Aspects of Competence

The article examines the importance of linguistic and cultural competence for future specialists in the field of economics in the context of modern education.The author proposes the concept of linguistic and cultural competence, which includes knowledge of the historical and cultural context, aspects of country studies and social responsibility.It has been studied that future specialists should not only understand other cultures, but also be conscious representatives of their own culture.The article outlines the components of linguistic and cultural competence, including understanding of national and cultural differences and tolerant communication with representatives of other cultures.The importance of awareness of personal cultural identity and its influence on ways of perceiving the world is also emphasized.The fact that both language and culture are forms of consciousness that reflect a person's worldview can be considered a methodological basis for the study of linguistic phenomena in an extralinguistic aspect.In addition, language and culture are related by two of their ontological properties: the ability to develop and its necessity, as well as a symbolic character.As an intercultural communication, it is important that future specialists of the economic profile not only understand another culture, but also realize themselves as a part of Ukrainian culture and that they act as true representatives of their native culture.Each nation has its own system of feelings and social stereotypes, which is the basis of its worldview and perception of the world.Linguistic and cultural characteristics of the individual, in turn, are related to the socio-cultural level of intelligence, in which two structural components are distinguished: the archetypal component, that is, intellectual structures that represent the a priori categories of knowledge of a person as an ancestral being, as a bearer of the historical experience of mankind; and the ethnic component, represented by cognitive structures that are determined by the peculiarities of the individual's national cultural space, which leaves an imprint on the ways of categorizing reality by representatives of different cultures.
