Abstract

This article promotes the idea of fostering the resources of the multicultural and multilingual environment in the Russian tertiary education which leads to forming a competitive multilingual personality. The detailed analysis of bilingual educational and institutional space at the faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences of St.Petersburg State University and the foreign languages teaching practices which embrace a multilingual approach as perceived by the teachers and students offers a new insight into the benefits and challenges of the educational potential of multilingualism.
