Ensuring the reform of today's primary school provides for a certain removal of restrictions in pedagogical activity, providing teachers with freedom in interpreting educational programs, using forms and methods of working with younger students. This requires from elementary school teachers not only deep knowledge, possession of a set of relevant professional skills and abilities, but also an orientation towards pedagogical creativity, towards the needs of the student in the educational process, an understanding of their own responsibility for the results obtained, the ability to act effectively in conditions of academic freedom and decentralization of the school. In modern conditions of education reform, the relevance of the problem under study is explained by a number of factors. Therefore, we consider the solution of certain social and educational problems to be an important component of the activity of a primary school teacher.
The article proves that the need for the development of intercultural communication skills in the learning process is due to external causes of globalization and internal requirements of the modern ethnocultural situation in Ukraine, as well as the needs of pedagogical science, which takes into account global development trends: anthropocentrism, search for value orientations and new worldview, the need for acquisition of intercultural interaction skills that ensure competitiveness in the global community.

Experimental application of a special method of working with educational Internet resources based on Web 2.0 technologies was tested in the Practical English academic course. It was found that the use of Web 2.0 in the development of intercultural communication skills in the process of studying at higher educational institutions opens up a wide range of opportunities for educational practice: the use of free electronic resources used for educational purposes; independent creation of network content; interpersonal interactions of the subjects of the educational process. To analyse the results obtained and objectively consider the dynamics of changes in the level of development of intercultural communication skills, control and measuring materials selected were the assignments of the Level 6 Certificate of General Language Proficiency (CAE Advanced) and a test to determine the level of development of learning strategies - the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version 7.0. It was found that the use of educational Internet resources based on Web 2.0 technologies activates the professionally significant qualities of future specialists, the ability to carry out intercultural communication, expands the horizons of the worldview and the sphere of professional activity to the maximum possible extent, professional mobility, which is a condition and basis of professionalism and mastery. The proposed methods, techniques and technologies can be used regardless of the foreign language and have transnational significance.
The article highlights the problem of the formation of technological literacy in the context of modern education. The interest on the part of society and the state in the formation of technologically competent personnel has been substantiated.

The conditions for the formation of technological literacy in the form of a system of factors are described. Special attention is paid to the technological literacy of the teacher and the mechanism of the successive transfer of personal technological experience from teacher to student is described.
