Some issues regarding how secondary school pupils’ and university students’ (majoring in English, Chinese) intercultural competence, which are to be developed under conditions of the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19, are presented in the article.

We introduce some learning objectives aimed at developing secondary school pupils’ and university students’ intercultural competence. The problem`s relevance is preconditioned by the expanded intercultural and interethnic ties within Ukraine and other countries, which are to be observed when dealing with representatives of different countries and considered when elaborating the competence-based framework for secondary school pupils and university students. The leading suggestions (findings) related to the study have been given: systematic formation of the intercultural competence of secondary school pupils and university students, improvement of the existing curricula, and syllabi’s adaptation of the educational profession-oriented training programs intended future translators and teachers of foreign languages.

The urgency of the topic is to modernise the formation of the modern English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils in terms of abilities and readiness of the individual for intercultural communication. The purpose of the article is to consider and describe the model presenting the methods aimed at the developing the modern topical English linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils taking into account the basic requirements of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) concept and in accordance with the European recommendations on language education. Based on the theoretical and methodological analysis of the literature on the research problem, modern methodological approaches to the formation of the English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils are generalised. A model presenting the formation of the modern topical English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils has been developed, taking into account the basic requirements of the NUS concept and in accordance with the All-European recommendations on language education. This model takes into account the leading basic components as follows: modern pedagogical, psychological and methodological principles facilitating the organisation of the educational process based on the postulates of partnership pedagogy; child-centeredness; positive, age-related and cognitive psychology; subcompetence-, activity- and competence-based approaches. The presented method aimed at forming the modern English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils is an attempt to timely resolve the contradiction between the rapid technical and technological development of personality in ontogenesis and the gradual decline of his / her linguistic and cultural, in particular English-speaking, competence. Modern and relevant topics are offered to acquaint the profession-related audience with the subjects of English language teaching. A sample "Workbook" is presented.
