| Socio-cultural competence in the cultural dialogue
context In the process of interlingual communication, sociocultural competence is formed that is according to D. Drl íková “an ability to communicate in a language appropriately, situationally and culturally, the knowledge of customs, rules, beliefs and principles of a given society” [17]. Cross-cultural communication generates such qualities as tolerance, patience, impartiality towards the representatives of other countries and cultures. The dialogue of cultures implies the knowledge of one’s own culture and the one of the target language country, having cross- cultural awareness. Culture is understood not just as art, which is also a part of cul- ture and reflects it but as everything that people have, that people think and that people do in any society, everything that determines specific life styles, their national mentality, religion, language, habits, cus- toms, mentality, material treasures, spiritual values, etiquette, everyday small situations, models of behav- iour, taboos. Culture emphasises the fact that people from various speaking communities take their specif- ic roles as speaking social agents which may shed light on the repertoires of their language use, linguistic practices, and even the social formation [2, p. 97]. The concept of culture includes three constituen- cies: 1) information / factual culture, which includes the background information: geography, history, a po- litical situation; 2) achievement culture, which includes arts, sciences, literature; 3) behaviour culture which in- cludes mentality, spiritual values, verbal and non-ver- bal communication, people’s relationship [5]. Cross-cultural differences can relate to patterns of meeting, bringing up children, getting food to feed, gaining information, social control and avoiding an- archy, organizing a nuclear family, etc. The require- ments of intercultural communication make it neces- sary to form a global mindset among its participants, which implies possessing the following skills: identify- ing false stereotypes leading to incorrect conclusions; determining the problem essence and alternative ways of its creative solutions; understanding what’s critically important and what’s merely a detail; perceiving that simple and excessive generalizations, categorizing people, unproved suppositions are far from always ac- curate and can lead to the stereotype formation; avoid- ing categorical statements; being honest in reasoning. Possessing general global mindset teaches students to process information more accurately, to make more balanced and correct conclusions about a representa- tive of a particular cultural group, make objective eval- uative judgments about cultural phenomena without prejudice and distortion. Thus, possessing socio- cultural competence is im- portant as it helps to form a global mindset and cross- cultural awareness among the participants of cross- cultural communication, trains a person to successful- ly operate sociocultural knowledge, contribute to the dialogue of cultures and learning cross- cultural differ- ences. жүктеу/скачать 4.6 Mb.
