BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF FORMING STUDENTS' LINGUOCULTURAL COMPETENCE (IN THE MATERIAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AT ALL LEVELS)

Abstract

The article focuses on various methods for developing linguocultural competence among students. The author explores several approaches including the linguo-sociocultural method, cultural dramatization, and the tandem method. The linguo-sociocultural method emphasizes the integration of language learning with cultural context, ensuring that students gain a deeper understanding of the sociocultural nuances of the language. Cultural dramatization involves using theatrical techniques to immerse students in the cultural aspects of the language, thereby enhancing their comprehension and retention. The tandem method, on the other hand, pairs students with native speakers or peers to foster mutual learning and cultural exchange. Furthermore, the author introduces the concept of linguocultural forecasting, which involves predicting and understanding cultural trends and their impact on language use. The article details the various types and stages of linguocultural forecasting, providing a framework for educators to implement in their teaching practices.
