“…Each language possesses an internal form, specific to its speakers, and expresses the "national spirit" and its culture, thus, language is an intermediary link between a person and the world around [1]. A number of scientific papers are devoted to the role and peculiarities of mastering intercultural communication while learning a foreign language: Azarova [2], Dervin [3], Fedorova [4], Ganina [5], Ito [6], Klimova [7], Kopus [8], Limar [9], Novikova [10], Sipe [11], Smakhtin [12], Zhang [13], etc. However, the topic of studying intercultural relations is so profound that it requires constant enhancing, including cross-cultural studies.…”

In the era of globalization and social distancing, intercultural dialogue plays a crucial role and requires a thorough reinterpretation. It is impossible without foreign language proficiency. Therefore, teaching foreign languages is a key to professional competency and personal growth. Language reflects the culture and functions as a universal tool of mutual understanding. It makes it possible to embrace the interlocutor’s mentality through grasping the peculiarities of the language. The proposed article is devoted to the validity study of the associative field technique. Its application contributes to the successful memorizing of terms and terminological expressions in a foreign language. The research considers the corresponding theoretical background devoted to the issues of intercultural communication, associative fields, and metaphorization of terms and terminological expressions in English. The methods applied in the study include comparative analysis, the method of continuous sampling, and a questionnaire survey. After the survey, the authors identified the terms that evoke associations with the notions “death” and “dead”. The article contains a number of interim conclusions with a further perspective on this issue. It is determined that the notion of “death” stands out as a representative of the “naïve” picture of the world and an initially expressive concept. In the case of a formal concept, the notion functions as a successful component of terms, especially metaphorical ones. The results of the study may be implemented in teaching a foreign language and intercultural communication, as well as in comparative linguistics and cultural studies.

Foreign language acquisition extends beyond linguistic competence, offering students access to additional knowledge in subjects like geography, history, and literature. Integrating language learning with other disciplines enables students to use a foreign language as a tool to enhance their understanding of various subjects. This case study illustrates the implementation of AI-based tools in the teaching culture alongside foreign language instruction which aims to impart a foundational critical thinking understanding of the host country's culture. While it shares some similarities with acculturation, the distinction lies in the fact that foreign language learners retain their identity as native speakers of their own culture while enriching their background knowledge with elements from the culture of the language being studied. This process transforms learners into carriers of global culture and enhances their appreciation for their cultural heritage. This article spotlights the revolutionary impact of AI tools in English language education. AI-driven generators have the possibility of transcription and editing capabilities and enhancelistening and speaking skills by offering detailed feedback. It discusses how AI-based instrumentsseamlessly integrate into various learning environments, be in-person or remote, offering personalized guidance for students. The article emphasizes the app's collaborative features, promoting engagement and peer learning, ultimately propelling language education into a new era.
