This article is of interest from a methodological point of view, since it examines the problem of the formation of skills in non-verbal foreign language communication in preparing students of a transport university for intercultural interaction. Researchers of intercultural communication note that misunderstandings, hindrances and failures in intercultural communication often give rise to culturally different discursive and socio-cultural phenomena. The author of the article believes that these phenomena can be overcome only with a purposeful study of communicative behavior and knowledge of non-verbal communication signals of representatives of other cultures. The urgency of this problem is due to the prevailing contradictions between the need of modern society for highly qualified specialists who are called upon not only to speak foreign languages, but also to resolve issues of interaction with representatives of different countries and cultures on the verbal and non-verbal levels and the real readiness of our students for intercultural communication. The relevance and social significance of this problem determined the choice of the topic «Formation of non-verbal communication skills in teaching intercultural interaction of students of a transport university». The purpose of the presented work is to determine the features of non-verbal communication and their use in teaching students intercultural interaction; to improve the quality of students' preparation for intercultural communication, taking into account non-verbal means of communication, using a set of developed exercises.

As a result of the work done, the author of the article presents a developed set of exercises that can be used by teachers of a foreign language in practical classes to improve the students’ skills for intercultural interaction taking into account non-verbal means of communication.

At the present stage, the formation of a new reader's mentality is clearly visible, this trend, in turn requires new scientific interpretations of the literary works of the past. The purpose of our work is to highlight some philological approaches to the study of historical fiction (based on the works of V. Yan, I. Kalashnikov), identify linguistic and linguocultural potential for further research (S. Borodin). Since at present numerous studies in the field of speech genres put on the agenda the problem of a systematic description of the communicative behavior of the people, we consider it expedient to study this problem on the basis of the historical prose of S. Borodin.
