TASK I.

a) Read the text paying attention to sub-competences given in bold:

In MFL education, the most basic competence is considered to be the ‘intercultural communicative competence’ which is di­rected towards forming an ‘intermediator of intercultural com­munication’.

The Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) is directed towards forming an intermediator of intercultural communication. ICC is an independent competence and the components of Intercultural Communicative Competence are independent sub-competences. This set of sub-competences displays methodological completeness and inter connectivity. The structure of the ‘intercultural communicative competence’ contains sub-competences which reflect the teaching system that forms an intercultural-communicative level of MFL command sufficient for everyday life and work in the modern interconnected world. The structure of the ‘intercultural communicative competence’ contains the following sub-competences: linguocultural, which forms a language student’s primary conceptualization of the world on the basis of their own culture. It is a linguocultural reflection of one’s national language consciousness and mentally and it is the basis upon which an eventual ‘reconceptualization’ will occur during the transition to a MLF; - the social and socio-cultural, which creates a language student’s ‘secondary cognitive consciousness ‘ as a conception and form of the world of a different language society. It also forms in the student’s cognitive system ‘secondary constructions-knowledge’ corresponding to their knowledge of the world and language of a different language society; the conceptual, which provides the means for the study of MFL and is a reflection of the conceptually-organized ‘picture of the world’ of a different society and the result of a common, integrated mechanism for working over natural language in an individual’s consciousness. The cognitive sub-competence provides the formation of language as apart of the process of knowledge-acquisition and thought.
