Abstract: This article is devoted to the description of the results of the author's research andn reveals particularities of the relationship between cross-cultural competence and emotional burnout syndrome of teachers working with migrants. The article contains a description of the phenomenon of burnout and cross-cultural competence of teachers. In his research Larin describes the results of his research that prove the relationship between the affective motivational component of cross-cultural competence of a teacher and the level of depersonalisation as well as the overall level of burnout. Within the framework of this research, the author carried out a survey that involved 64 teachers from 6 secondary schools. To analyze the level of emotional burnout, the author has used the MBI method. To analyze cross-cultural competence, the author has used an quick cross-cultural competence questionnaire offered by M. Chibisov, T. Ivanov, and M. Kornilov. At first sight, emotional burnout and cross-cultural competence of school teachers are two absolutely unrelated phenomena. However, a school teacher may have to work with migrant children which creates additional emotional stress. In its turn, this may affect the emotional state of a teacher and, as a consequence, the level of emotional burnout.
