Abstract
The article highlights the notion of multilingualism, its features and peculiarities in Ukrainian society. Further challenges dealing with the development of multilingualism ideas for the conformation of a well-educated person are defined. Multilingualism is analyzed as a necessary factor of solving social conflicts, the way of understanding other people and cultures, a quantitative component of modern educational system in Ukraine. A few approaches to multilingualism are researched. On the one hand, multilingualism is considered to be an opportunity for societies, groups and people to master more than one foreign language in everyday life. On the other hand, multilingualism contemplates using a few languages within a specific community (first of all, state); using a few languages by a person or group of people that depends on a particular communicative situation. There are two levels of multilingualism which are researched in the article. They are national and individual. Multilingualism can be realized on the national level, when we ponder a unity of groups, institutions and citizens that speak more than one foreign language. This kind of multilingualism is well spread in multinational countries. Using more than two foreign languages in everyday life by a separate person is considered to be individual multilingualism. By means of using, multilingualism can be defined as voluntary and constrained. Voluntary multilingualism presumes that a person knows one or more foreign languages and there is not a big social difference if he masters a language or does not. The disability to learn it does not lead to a life crisis. Under these circumstances a foreign language is considered to be an individual merit that promotes to improve an individual’s self-esteem. Constrained multilingualism is researched as mastering those foreign languages which are historically formed on the territory where a person lives. Multilingualism is analyzed as a necessary factor for developing intellectual skills and abilities, bringing universal human values up cultivating respect to the world values.
