Abstract

The rapid and radical changes in the life of Ukrainian society, the processes of globalization and integration, the continuous expansion of the spheres of international, interethnic communication indicate that further development of mankind is possible only with the dialogue of representatives of different national-cultural and religious communities that can understand and perceive another culture as equivalent. It is in these conditions that the education of foreign students is considered as a means of safe and comfortable existence in the new society, and the goal of education is the formation of intercultural communication among future foreign doctors, as well as the formation of tolerant consciousness among students at such levels as personality, society, and state. Foreign students from different countries represent different ethnic groups, different cultural, religious, linguistic relations, cultural education, which causes difficulties in the life of foreign students who influence the formation of their intercultural communicative competence. The analysis of scientific literature shows the constant interest of scholars in the problems of the formation of a tolerant linguistic personality of a foreign medical student. It is necessary to create an atmosphere of tolerance, openness, respect for one another and a sense of solidarity. The principle of tolerance implies tolerance and respect for the opinion of another person, impartiality in the assessment of people and events, and the positivity of relationships. The problem of forming the readiness of foreign students to perceive the cultural environment, teaching intercultural communication involves a number of more complex aspects: the formation of a culture of communication in another for them socio-cultural and linguistic environment; Taking into account psychological peculiarities of adult education; Taking into account psychological peculiarities of cognitive communicative activity of foreign students in the natural linguistic environment; Raising the culture of interethnic communication in the group, at the faculty, in the university, etc.; Formation of skills and abilities of the "dialogue of cultures"; the formation and development of theoretical and practical readiness for intercultural communication, which is the main means of educating a tolerant personality. Therefore, tolerance is defined by us as a respectful attitude to someone else's opinion, loyalty in the assessment of actions and behavior of other people, readiness for understanding and cooperation in solving issues of interpersonal, group and interethnic interaction. Formation of a tolerant linguistic personality in the process of teaching intercultural communication is aimed at stabilizing the internal situation in the student collective, ensuring friendship of peoples (social function); Enriching people with spiritual culture; Inducing them to spiritual cooperation (educational function); Formation of socio-ethical qualities facilitating intercultural consent in society (psychological function). The main mechanism for forming a tolerant linguistic personality is that the personality of each student is the subject and the object of intercultural relations and brings its share into the treasury of world experience, each person in one or another degree is a participant in a free political and cultural dialogue, the ownership of which contributes the mental compatibility of people, respect, acceptance and understanding of different cultures, which are the conditions of humanity's movement for spiritual integration, respect for the languages, traditions and culture of other peoples, the formation of a world culture in.
