Therefore, linguistic globalization is regarded as a global intensive lexical borrowing from English by languages whose speakers use English as a foreign language. Politically and socially, it concerns the status of English as a \"language of globalization\", proven by scientific, political, statistical and sociolinguistic arguments. Furthermore, higher education has also been impacted by the process of Anglicization as one of the main tasks is to prepare students for effective intercultural communication in a global, intercultural environment. The present paper aims to provide an analysis of the process of Anglicisation in its transition from an individual phenomenon (idiolect) to the national and international system of higher education, highlighting its advantages and disadvantages.","PeriodicalId":275665,"journal":{"name":"Multilingvism si Interculturalitate in Contextul Globalizarii","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122987174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The knowledge of the English language is not the only necessary thing on the way of becoming a global citizen. Some skills are also necessary, which are often named the 21st century skills.

Therefore, an efficient and productive interaction between various cultures and languages, in an environment of acceptance, tolerance, equality, flexibility, understanding, respect and affirmation, requires a multicultural training and appropriate intercultural competences. Moreover, the existence of many intercultural barriers, the urgent need to interact with people, regardless of their origin, to live in a world marked by pronounced cultural and linguistic differences, confirms the importance of developing such competences by studying cultural diversity and capitalizing its strengths, but in the same time maintaining its own identity and contributing to its development. Therefore, the local higher education system, foreign language teachers, in particular, have the complex mission to form and develop intercultural competences and/ or elements of competences, necessary for today's young people, for both, personal and professional development and in order to integrate into a multicultural environment. The approached subject reveals the fact that in the academic environment, intercultural competence can be successfully acquired with the help of traditional or modern extracurricular activities.","PeriodicalId":275665,"journal":{"name":"Multilingvism si Interculturalitate in Contextul Globalizarii","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116943041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of people suffering from a crisis of cultural identity is rapidly increasing. This can be explained by the fact that as members of two or more cultures, many do their hardest to integrate into the dominant culture, even if it means sacrificing the values of the culture in which their parents were raised, only to have a sense of belonging in the dominant culture’s society. In this article we try to identify the specific features of bilingualism and pluriculturalism in social and family context in Western and Eastern cultures. Using France in the West and South Korea in the East as examples, we examined from various perspectives how immigrants who are fluent in the dominant culture’s language, have adopted its values into their lifestyle, yet even after spending in this country the most of their lives they feel alienated and discriminated. Based on documentary, analytical, historical, descriptive, and juxtaposed comparative methods of research we reached to the conclusion that while we advocate for equality regardless of ethnicity, gender, colour, or religion, equality remains an ideal that we have failed to achieve because we are still reluctant to fully accept cultural diversity of Identity.","PeriodicalId":275665,"journal":{"name":"Multilingvism si Interculturalitate in Contextul Globalizarii","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129154465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behind every word, behind every language structure there is a national consciousness-driven view of the world. The problems, which arise in situations of intercultural communication, are seen as the result of differences in behaviour and thinking between people from different cultures, which often leads to ineffective communication. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and argue for the importance of the cultural component in the process of learning a foreign language on the example of figurative linguistic units as the deep cultural foundations of the conceptualisation of the world. These linguistic units are used as a means for interpreting the value aspect of conceptualisation. The research is conducted on the material of Russian, Romanian and German. The linguistic material of the study refers to idioms, similes and metaphors as models, correlated with a deeper conceptual layer, which are actively used by modern speakers of the respective languages.","PeriodicalId":275665,"journal":{"name":"Multilingvism si Interculturalitate in Contextul Globalizarii","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133845381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
