| Rezumat: | That we all live in a definitely new kind of world from all viewpoints has already become a truism – however, what seems to be a bit more difficult for each and every of us, people at the beginning of the 21st century, is to acquire an ability to explore and understand it, forging our way into the complexity of social, political, economic and cultural interactions governing our lives. The paper therefore presents an approach to preparing, within the foreign language classes of various types, higher education students to develop an appropriate aware type of attitude as to the complexity and dynamic of the contemporary world in which they are supposed to evolve as successful professionals and fulfilled human beings. To this end, and based on a coherent framework of principles ranging along paradigms of openness, empathy, tolerance and understanding of variety in intercultural encounters while preserving national identity, a holistic comprehensive approach has been developed, whose components are described, together with the rationale underlying them. In their General English, ESP, EAP and/or CLIL classes, students are gradually guided, by means of various awareness raising activities, towards acquiring the capacity to note and reflect on social, economic, political and cultural phenomena, as would be actors of the labor market, able to permanently reassemble the picture of society and to take educated decisions. |
