Abstract

To study the consequences of the formation of the cultural identity of students and their level of education, it should be noted that it is young people who increasingly form a multicultural identity, because as they grow up, they learn different cultural beliefs and certain patterns of behavior. Ethnographic and intercultural characteristics illustrate the ways in which learners are increasingly exposed to different cultures. In that case three main pedagogical questions arise: how important is it that multicultural identity is based on direct or indirect interaction with different peoples; how the formation of cultural identity and its development can take place depending on the specific cultures involved; advantages and disadvantages in the formation of a multicultural identity, and not just an identity in general, based mainly on one cultural tradition. The purpose of this article is to describe the relationship between learning and cultural identity. Finally, the article proposes to consider several methods based on foreign and Russian literature, taking into account different points of view in the formation of students' identity.
