Such competence cannot be monocultural, cannot be directed to only one culture. It should have a
cross-cultural expression. True interculturality embraces not only its own action in a foreign language
and cultural society, but also the actions of representative of another culture in a foreign language and
cultural society[18].
Thus, sociocultural competence covers the following aspects:
-achieving competence in a foreign cultural and at the same time the formation of this competence;
-reflections of own cultural and the ability to talk
about it in a foreign language;
-achieving intercultural understanding ,which leads to respect for others and tolerance [9].
Formation of sociocultural competence, by which we mean the complex knowledge of values,
beliefs, behavioral patterns, customs, traditions, language
and cultural achievements, characteristic
of a particular society and its characteristics, occurs in the framework of sociocultural education and
training, that is in the process of familiarizing the individual to cultural and national traditions of
the country of studied language [8]. It is impossible to form a socio- cultural competence without
acquisition of sociocultural knowledge, since the sociocultural knowledge is necessary not only as a
means of communication with representatives of the foreign language culture, but also as a means to
enrich the spiritual world of the individual on the basis of the knowledge about the culture of target
language country. Sociocultural competence makes cross-cultural communication possible in the
context of socio-pedagogical foundations of civil peace and accordance that
cobines the idea of world
globalization, humanization, cultural studies, social and ecological objectives and content of training.
Therefore the presence of sociocultural competence is the paramount of socio-pedagogical concept of
foreign language teaching in the spirit of the world, in the context of the dialogue of culture. We agree
with V.V.Safonova that the basic provisions of social competence are the following:
-The need for a preliminary study of the sociocultural situation in the country and national environment
before learning foreign languages;
-Develop bicultural language education by changing its content, socialization ,humanization,
education, education for peace,
and respect for human rights;
-Sociocultural competence makes it possible to navigate in the authentic language environment,
allowing you to anticipate and thus avoiding the possible sociocultural interference, resulting in a
different sociocultural environment. It forms a sociocultural knowledge of the countries and nations of
the target language and country [24].
-The basis for sociocultural competence is cultural studies, which gave a true picture of the country’s
sociocultural portrait of the target language ,including historical and cultural knowledge, values and
peoples lifestyle. This suggests that learning foreign language as a means of intercultural communication
directly related to the knowledge of the world and national culture, the interaction of the individual and
society, various members
of society to each other;
Thus, the formation of sociocultural competence is aimed at the development of trainees’ worldview
and understanding of own country history and people and themselves and the bearer of national values
.The aim of the sociocultural learning is not only the knowledge own and other cultures but also an
ability to estimate own culture critically.
It is important to highlight the criteria of sociocultural competence:
-The functionality of the content .This means that knowledge which is important to students should
be given. For example providing a large number of text about countries of the target language. This
type of providing regional geographic knowledge is called cognitive [29].
-To be able to communicate effectively with native speakers, learners need to have knowledge of
geography, politics, social sphere, culture and science. This is based on the statement that sociocultural
competence can be applied only in the context where it is offered.
Sociocultural competence includes three blocks of knowledge:
-Linguistic regional geography knowledge – the knowledge of lexical units with the national -cultural
semantics and ability to apply them in situations of intercultural communication;
-Socio-psychological knowledge possession of sociocultural conditioned scenarios, national-specific
behaviors using communication technology adopted in a given culture;
-Cultural knowledge- knowledge of sociocultural, historical, cultural, ethnic and cultural backgrounds
and the ability to use them to reach an understanding with representatives of this cultures[6].

CONCLUSION
Formation of sociocultural competence can be achieved by learning not only the rules of sentence
structure and system of word, but by the principles of operation of ambiguous words and grammatical
structures in real communicative situations. These communicants should be able to cope with potential
difficulties by using verbal and non-verbal types of communication estimating emotional level and
assessing
interaction style, purpose and communication condition. In summary, we can say that
culture and intercultural communication problems should be presented in educational process as
global education objectives. the new concept of sociocultural education requires serious didactic
thinking, choice of approach to learning a foreign language which can provide socialization
of training
foreign language communication and connection of communicative activity of students with cognitive
research to the study of sociocultural portrait of native speakers.
