The problem of finding pedagogical conditions for preparing university students for cross-cultural scientific communication is relevant in pedagogical science, since it (as the analysis of literature, regulatory documents and electronic sources shows) is poorly developed in theoretical terms. Taking into consideration the gap discovered, it becomes necessary to study the issues of identifying and substantiating special pedagogical conditions that will contribute to the formation of competences of direct and virtual interaction in the framework of cross-cultural scientific communication. The leading approach to the study of the problem is the communicative-cultural approach, which is a form of integration of two interdependent approaches: communicative and cultural. Based on its key provisions, as well as taking into account the bi-directional specifics of cross-cultural scientific communication, we have identified two pedagogical conditions that have a personal stimulating effect on the educational process and optimize the organizational and technological aspects of the process of students’ traning at the university. The first condition is the creation of a communication-oriented intercultural educational environment in the process of foreign language learning. It is aimed at the formation of the cross-cultural scientific communication competences in direct communication situations. The second condition is the adaptive implementation of the educational process in the e-learning system. It is necessary for preparing university students ready for cross-cultural scientific communication in the virtual space. A theoretically significant result is the structuring of communication-oriented intercultural educational environment in the process of foreign language learning, which includes spatial-subject, social and psycho-didactic components; and consideration of ways of organizing adaptation in an e-learning course through adaptive presentation of course materials, adaptive testing and adaptive navigation.
