摘要：
In the age of globalization, there is a sharp need to bring intercultural components to communicative skills in foreign language teaching at universities. This research aimed to find out about role-playing and business simulation effectiveness in acquiring intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes. The participants were second-year students of People's Friendship University of Russia. Methods such as interviews, observations, and testing were applied. The results show that business simulations can increase intercultural competence, strengthen communicative components and help in acquiring the socio-cultural knowledge and skills necessary for effective cross-cultural communication when studying a foreign language.
