Abstract. In an increasingly globalized world, intercultural competence has become essential for effective communication and collaboration across cultures. This article explores how teaching communicative forms of intercultural communication in English can enhance students' intercultural competence.
Intercultural competence refers to the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately with people from different cultural backgrounds. It involves knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable individuals to navigate diverse cultural contexts.
Keywords: multimedia technologies, metacognitive skills, Alpha generation, educational platforms, self-regulation, reflection, planning.
Multimedia technologies are not merely tools for presenting information; they provide dynamic and interactive environments that promote active learning. These technologies include educational games, mobile applications, and online platforms that encourage children to engage with content in a way that fosters critical thinking and problem-solving.
Research has shown that the use of digital tools in education enhances students' ability to reflect on their learning strategies and outcomes, which is essential for metacognitive development. For instance, platforms like Khan Academy and interactive applications such as Scratch allow students to set learning goals, monitor their progress, and evaluate their achievements—key aspects of metacognitive skills.
Developing Metacognitive Skills through Multimedia Technologies
Metacognitive skills are divided into three main components: planning, monitoring, and evaluating. Each of these components can be effectively developed through the integration of multimedia technologies into educational practices.
1. Planning: Setting learning goals and identifying the necessary steps to achieve them is a critical part of planning. Multimedia tools, such as interactive learning platforms, help students to organize and plan their learning paths by providing visual and structured frameworks for task management.
2. Monitoring: Digital applications enable real-time feedback, allowing students to monitor their progress as they work through learning tasks. This immediate feedback helps students to adjust their learning strategies as needed, ensuring that they stay on track to meet their objectives.
3. Evaluating: After completing a learning task, multimedia technologies offer students the opportunity to assess their performance. This reflective process helps them to understand what strategies worked, where improvements are needed, and how to adjust their approach for future tasks.
The integration of multimedia technologies in education not only enhances cognitive development but also plays a vital role in fostering metacognitive skills in the Alpha generation. As digital tools become increasingly prevalent in educational environments, it is essential to continue exploring their potential to support the development of self-regulation, reflection, and planning— skills that are crucial for lifelong learning and success in a rapidly changing world.
Educational-speech situations "are defined as a set of speech conditions necessary for the student to correctly perform a speech action in accordance with the intended communicative task" . Speech situation is made based on studied foreign texts or in the process of discussing certain topics that provide communicative motivation and relevance of speech activity. Educational and speech situations (the situation of a business meeting with a native speaker, or the situation of staying in a foreign country, etc.) contribute to the modeling of "live speech" and the establishment of contacts

with the native speaker. Along with the traditional types of work, the professional skills of the future specialist are formed - analytical reading the texts on the specialty, participation in discussions, writing abstracts, a public presentation with a report. This creates a problematic situation, which activates thinking and serves to generate speech.
Formation of intercultural communicative competence among students implies awareness of the native culture and other cultures, their interrelationships; ability and readiness for communication prevent conflicts that inevitably arise from such contacts; the ability to build new patterns of behavior, based on the values and norms of different cultures. It assumes the development of such personal qualities as patience, the ability to empathy, and tolerance. Thus, the combination of both traditional and non-traditional methods of teaching a foreign language helps to create, support and develop the ICC and educate future professionals with such qualities as tolerance, openness, respecting the culture and spiritual values of one's own and other peoples capable and willing to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Awareness of the specifics of different spheres of life of native speakers, their own values and ways of behavior, as well as their impact on the use of language, can be considered an indicator of the formation of students to communicate in a foreign language in the course of intercultural communication. The orientation of the educational process on the competent content of education assumes the formation not only of communicative competence, but also of competences related to life in a multipolar world, designed to prevent the emergence of misunderstanding, alienation and spread of xenophobia.
Formation of the students' ability of foreign ICC is carried out in the process of teaching all types of speech activity (reading, speaking, writing, and listening) both in the course of classroom activities and in the course of out-of-class work
