The needs of the tourist domestic market and the integration of education into the international educational space require understanding of the phenomenon of multiculturalism and finding new ways of its realization in the process of professional training of bachelors in tourism. Creating a multicultural educational space requires the introduction of an innovative field of cultural interaction through the introduction of innovative technologies based on the dialogue of cultures, which will be aimed at activating the emotional, intellectual and creative sphere of personality development. Such technologies can be considered as a reserve of qualitative training bachelors in tourism to the professional activity in terms of multicultural education space. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the state of tourism potential of Ukraine and the conformity of the system of professional training of specialists in this field; to determine the possibilities of creation and realization of multicultural educational space through modeling of cultural interaction and to determine the ways of its implementation in higher education institutions. To achieve it, a set of theoretical and empirical methods was used to identify a number of problems that slow down the process of training bachelors in tourism to meet the challenges of the modern tourist services market. To eliminate them, a structural and functional model of forming a multicultural educational space in the process of professional training of bachelors in tourism has been developed, and mechanisms of its realization through technologies of cultural interaction are characterized.

“…According to him, the word "shock" carries a negative connotation, indicating that an individual receives only negative experiences during the adaptation process, which does not correspond to reality [5]. The word "culture" does not fully reflect the essence of the concept either, because the reason for the described phenomenon is in the intercultural plane [25][26][27].…”

The article describes the problems international students encounter during psychophysiological adaptation. As the modern higher education system is characterized by academic mobility, and international students from countries with quite different geoclimatic and cultural traditions have to undergo an adaptation period, the problem under study is topical. The study was conducted at Kharkiv National Medical University (Ukraine) in 2020/2021. The research involved 1st, 2nd and 3rd-year international students (from 50 countries). The peculiarities of international students’ psychophysiological states were assessed during the stages of initial adaptation, stable adaptation and final adaptation. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the factors of the natural and socio-pedagogical environment that affect the psychological adaptation process of international students. The present study provides new information on the acclimatization patterns of international students who study in Ukraine, as well as its functional significance on selected performance measures. General theoretical methods, research methods and methods of statistical data processing have been employed. The results reveal that the destabilizing factors that negatively affect international students’ adaptation process include frequent hypothermia, dietary changes, inadequate and irregular food intake, insufficient physical activity and excessive mental stress. Practical recommendations to decrease these negative factors are proposed.

The aim of the paper is to identify and describe some specifics of intercultural competence development at the tertiary level in the framework of language and culture. Different views on intercultural competence development in higher education are presented as well as intercultural competence development in different countries and many scholars’ points of views. The results show certain specifics of intercultural competence development including linguistic competence, linguistic and cultural competence, as well as the components of intercultural competence development: the knowledge of foreign languages, cultural background knowledge, and basic soft skills. It is stated that knowing foreign languages, understanding the national culture of the target language, and having universal soft skills are necessary for successful intercultural competence development. Some soft skills are developed too, such as: tolerance, a sense of responsibility for one’s actions, the ability to empathy, understanding and acceptance of a foreign culture, the ability and desire to understand the difference and unity of one’s culture and the country culture of a target language, a sense of adequate and friendly perception of a foreign language and its realities. It is concluded that it is important to know a theory and have a practice for intercultural competence development and intercultural communication, since a foreign language, culture can only be acquired through activities. As for the specifics of intercultural competence development at the tertiary level in national universities, an indirect character of its development and patterning during intercultural communication are characterized.
