COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH TO DEVELOPING LINGUOCULTURAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS VIA THE COURSE “LINGUISTIC COUNTRY STUDIES”

The article substantiates necessity of including linguistic and country study content while developing communicative competence of students; demonstrates a scheme of applying the communicative approach to developing linguocultural competence of students as a system of country-through-language knowledge, skills and motives that enable effective communication in the process of cross-cultural intercourse. The model of developing such competence is based on the principles of authenticity of linguocultural material, philological way of cognition, polychannel perception of information; and encompasses motivating (psychological), orientating (factual) and communicative (subject-oriented, pseudo-communucative, creative) stages. 


Keywords: communicative competence, cross-cultural communication, country-though-language studies, linguocultural competence, future foreign language teachers, philological training.
