The author of foregoing article has a thesis that a conception of interculturality in the modern world determines new standards in politics, economy and especially in teaching foreign languages. The starting point of the discussion is the explanation of key words: culture, interculturality, intercultural teaching, intercultural competence. The author explains the specificity of intercultural teaching during the foreign language classes and regards the intercultural competence as an essential requirement for effective communication with representatives of other cultures. She considers referring to our own model of interpretation to understand a statement as one of the most important reasons of misunderstanding in intercultural communication. To avoid this misunderstanding while working on vocabulary, one should underline the differences and similarities between cultures.

The paper has 3 objectives: (i) identify QoL determinants of Russian Students; (ii) assess their relevance for decision-making when choosing life strategies; (iii) recognize their implications for academic teaching. The research sample were students from two Russian Universities. The study employed: literature analysis;exploratory research (direct individual in-depth interviews, survey based on a self-administered, web-based questionnaire with single-answer, limited choice qualitative & quantitative questions and gradings based on the Likert-type scale); explanatory research (informal moderated group discussions). The research findings show the relatively high significance of finance, career,stability, family, free time and other non-material QoL determinants. Research analysis reveals an inconsistency between respondents’ expectationsand their work-life balance, which imposes a question about decision-makingcriteria at an early stage of career planning and the role of tertiary educationin this process. Implications & Recommendations: (i) multicriteri decision-making processes, such as career planning, should comprise worklife balance; therefore both material and non-material QoL determinants should be incorporated into the analysis; (ii) as the role of Universities, beside educating, is also to guide and shape characters, Academia seems to be the right place for this task; (iii) therefore Universities should promote conscious lecturers as assistants to the process of identification of individual QoL determinants by their students. Contribution & Value Added: the research provides a fresh and improved perspective on quality of life and its determinants; it includes non-material QoL components and therefore brings qualitative determinants into economic research; it will provide data future comparisons; it comes from a research network linking European and Russian tertiary education institutions and University lecturers with intercultural teaching experience.

The article discusses some basic notions related to intercultural foreign language teaching. These include: intercultural communication competence, intercultural teaching, and intercultural training. The article also presents the results of research allowing an overview of the status quo of interculturality from the perspective of Polish teachers of the German language. The research is of a very general nature as it was supposed to counterbalance numerous operationally detailed surveys and provide data on to what extent the teachers understand interculturality as a general guideline in teaching German as a foreign language.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie efektów rozwoju kursu, które zaowocowały zmianami w zakresie krytycznej umiejętności korzystania z mediów. W pierwszej części artykułu przedstawione zostały źródła naukowe wspierające rozwój kursu medioznawstwa w kontekście nauczania międzykulturowego. Po tej części dostępne są szczegóły dotyczące badania percepcyjnego sprzężenia zwrotnego i jego mieszanej metodologii. Zgodnie z wynikami, krytyczna umiejętność korzystania z mediów przez studentów została poprawiona dzięki naukowym źródłom mediów społecznościowych w analizie, regionalnym studiom przypadków w kontekście międzykulturowym, oraz technikom sprawdzania faktów w konsumpcji wiadomości. Ostatecznym rezultatem było głębsze zrozumienie wartości stojących za wolnością mediów. Ponadto, poziom wiedzy w dziedzinie historii i polityki wzrósł, a etnocentryczna perspektywa załamała się w międzykulturowym środowisku. W końcowej części artykułu podsumowano kluczowe ustalenia oraz wkład w rozwój kursu wraz z rekomendacjami. Głównym przesłaniem badania jest znaczenie studium przypadku opartego na międzykulturowym i historycznym podejściu w studiach nad mediami dla poprawy krytycznej umiejętności korzystania z mediów w szkolnictwie wyższym.

The goal of the paper is to present the effects of the course development resulting in changes in critical media literacy. The first part of the paper outlines the academic sources supporting the course development of media studies in the context of intercultural teaching. After this section, details of perceptual feedback research and its mixed methodology are available. According to the findings, critical media literacy of students has been improved due to the academic social media sources in analysis, regional case studies in an intercultural context, and fact check techniques in news consumption. The ultimate result was a deeper understanding of the values behind media freedom. Moreover, the level of knowledge in historical and political fields has increased, and the ethnocentric perspective has collapsed as the interculturalenvironment. The closing section of the paper summarizes the key findings and the contribution to the course developments with recommendations. The main message of the study is the importance of the case study based on the intercultural and historical approach in media studies to improve critical media literacy in higher education.
