The article focuses on the link between neuro-didactics and the intercultural communicative competence. As an interdisciplinary field, neuro-didactics combines brain research and didactics in teaching Russian as a foreign language. The review covers relevant publications on modern scientific approaches to teaching a foreign language with the help of neuro-didactics. The author examined various issues connected with teaching Russian to foreigners to describe the most effective neuro-didactic methods of developing the intercultural communicative competence, e.g., the effect of certain hormones on learning, etc. Neuroscience data, social networks, messengers, and mass media provide a more effective academic process, facilitate language learning, and increase the effectiveness of teaching methods. Thus, basic neuro-didactics should be taught to future foreign language teachers. By understanding the mechanisms and nature of neural plasticity, they may develop new effective teaching and learning methods.
