THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT'S TOLERANCE IN MULTICULTURAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT (KAZAN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY)

Currently the study of student's tolerance plays a vital role in multicultural educational environment. We must bear in mind that tolerance is not something we wish to have, but rather something that needs to be present. As teachers, it is our role to demonstrate kindness, fairness and patience whenever we find ourselves dealing with students to show what is expected of them. So far, the importance of the study of tolerance in multicultural educational environment is high. The problem in our investigation is that first-year students are not adequately socialized into the system of higher education. They are not adapted enough to studying at the university level. They have a different level of both education and training, and as a consequence, deviant behaviour is observed. The purpose of our study is to develop and expand student's tolerance in multicultural educational environment and our main objectives are to implement theoretical analysis of the concept of student's tolerance and verbal aggression; to identify the form of verbal aggression used by students in the process of learning a foreign language, and to develop recommendations in order to increase student's tolerance. The study was carried out among teachers and students (first and second courses). We started by investigating the use of direct and indirect verbal aggression to compare it with the level of tolerance. Correlation has been found.
