Abstract

The article discusses the state of communication skills in the multicultural environment of high school students. Data was collected through a survey using a questionnaire from 521 students in 6 high schools across the country. The results show that the state of communication skills in the multicultural environment of high school students is at a moderate level (2.3) with various specific manifestations. There are differences in the manifestation of communication skills in the multicultural environment between urban and rural students. While communicating in a multicultural environment, high school students face difficulties such as difficulty controlling emotions, lack of refusal skills, and difficulty reconciling differences in personality and preferences with their peers.
