This cultural reflection enables the development in university students the skills of critical understanding of these linguistic and cultural differences. The article presents a methodology, which determines the effective formation of appropriate communicative strategies for students when teaching a foreign language at a university and the development of their skills of effective communication in intercultural situations. It also describes experimental learning, which aimed to develop university students’ communication strategies. The experimental results have convincingly proved the effectiveness of the worked -out technology.
