Abstract
The article aims at providing a comprehensive analysis of cross-cultural aspects in the English language teaching. The case study has been conducted in two groups of bachelor students majoring in law and journalism. In this paper, a survey method has been applied to gather information on the domains of professional communication which have most cultural differences. Cultural peculiarities emerge when we consider American/British vs Ukrainian professional interaction. The analysis has revealed certain cultural differences in such spheres as behaviour and communication, situation and context, etc. The results vary in the group of law and journalism students.
