LINGUOCULTURAL APPROACH AS MODERN EXPERIENCE IN LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

The article discusses the importance of the culture of target-language country in the system of foreign language education of pupils and students. Being the base on which all foreign language speech communication is built, the culture of target-language country (history, life, traditions, national character of native speakers, etc.) determines the learning process itself, contributing to a deeper knowledge of their native culture and their native language. It is necessary to pay due attention to special features and cultural differences of a foreign language at all levels and stages of education: pre-school, school (primary, secondary, senior, profile-oriented levels), secondary professional, higher. The authors show through the examples based on personal practical experience in teaching the English and French languages at the North Ossetia State University named that the development of a personality of a student is performed while comparing several linguistic cultures, languages, cultural phenomena and facts of these languages. A foreign language is a tool for learning a different linguistic picture of the world. The linguocultural approach implemented in teaching both the first and second foreign languages is regarded as effective knowledge of foreign languages and cultures in the broadest sense.
