The hypothesis of the research is that effective formation of the intercultural communicative competence in active older adults is carried out on the basis of the specially developed educational programme “Foreign language (English)” and the communicative-oriented approach in teaching within the framework of lifelong learning. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, a set of scientific methods was used: analysis, synthesis, comparing, generalisation, questioning, testing and interviewing. Respondents were 64 active older adults who were the students of the Centre of education and social activity for elderly people “Second Youth”. The majority of respondents (51%) showed the increasing level of intercultural communicative competence after the completion of the English language course for ten months. The application of the suggested in the article model will improve the level of English competence, the motivation for learning English, the ability to communicate and interact in the intercultural environment, formation of positive and tolerant perception of intercultural features, the general level of self-confidence, as well as satisfaction of the need for extending communication with other people.  \nKeywords: English language communicative competence; lifelong learning; internationalisation; communicative-oriented approach; motivation; needs assessment.  \nIntroduction  \nThe knowledge-based society and globalisation challenges influence the necessity to improve people`s skills and competences during the whole life (Colardyn & Bjornavold, 2004) . The European approach of lifelong learning includes the wide range of educational forms (formal, informal and non-formal) and acquiring of skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in everyday life (Dunn, 2003) . Adult education is a core component of lifelong learning. It ensures that all adults participate in their societies and labour market. Adult learning and education involves sustained activities and processes of acquiring, recognising, exchanging, and adapting capabilities (UNESCO, 2009) .  \nUsing communicative-oriented approach in teaching English facilitates receiving and expanding knowledge about the language as a system, as well as the culture of the country whose language is studied, its history, literature, painting, music, customs, traditions etc. The importance of using the principle of communicativeness by the teacher involves the construction of a process of teaching a foreign language as a model of the process of real communication, which is relevant especially in the old age. After all, due to the issues that exist in the respectful age, the issue of lack of communication is totally important and relevant (Littlewood, 2014) .  \nIn the conditions of globalisation, English as a language of international communication is an efficient instrument in multicultural environment. Intercultural communicative competence is important in order to interact with people of different cultural backgrounds. The development of intercultural communicative competence is one of the goals in the field of English language education that helps learners to be interculturally tolerant to the national differences (Byram, 1997; Samovar, Porter & McDaniel, 2012) . Intercultural communicative competence is one of the key competences in the twenty-first century, so one of the main goals in English language training programmes is to educate learners to bec","cbCaiuTKo6Wx6LhU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuTKo6Wx6LhU","pdf",426847,"English","# Introduction\n## Communicative-oriented approach and adult learning\n## Globalisation and internationalisation\n## Ukraine’s challenges and the study rationale\n# Literature review","[{\"question\":\"What is the article’s main research aim?\",\"answer\":\"To assess the educational needs of active older adults and study their motives for learning English.\"},{\"question\":\"On what basis does the study hypothesize effective competence formation?\",\"answer\":\"On a specially developed “Foreign language (English)” programme and a communicative-oriented approach within lifelong learning.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the intercultural communicative competence change evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Through a study of 64 active older adults, with most participants (51%) showing an increasing level after a ten-month English course.\"}]","FACILITATING INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF ADULT LEARNERS IN THE CONTEXT OF HIGHER EDUCATION - Internationalisation | PDF",1792066334,18]
