Abstract

Primary school English teachers don’t always realize that simply learning a foreign language learning in the lessons isn’t sufficient. The purpose of learning a foreign language is not just to gain communicative skills, but also to cultivate a cultural and linguistic identity. This fact has led to the emergence of new concepts in foreign language teaching, such as intercultural communication and sociocultural learning. This article addresses the preparation of future primary school teachers for the vital task of developing students’ sociocultural competencies in English lessons. This article focuses on effective methods and approaches to develop students’ sociocultural understanding in the context of learning a foreign language and provides suggestions for the usage of innovative technologies and resources for the effective implementation of this aspect in the educational process. Key ideas are assigned that teachers can get when planning and conducting lessons to promote the development of the sociocultural competence of students, taking into account their individual age and cognitive characteristics. The role of the teacher is very significant and explained in detail in the research. The teaching requirements for the formation of sociocultural competencies of future foreign language teachers are defined as the comprehensive task of applying sociocultural orientations of variable content when learning a foreign language; by introducing the peculiarities of national and cultural characteristics and national communicative behavior of speakers of another language topics to improve subject content; a comprehensive use of traditional and innovative teaching methods. The devepment of socio-cultural competencies in future teachers is extremely important. In today’s globalized world, it’s important for future teachers to communicate and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Developing teachers’ intercultural qualities can help them incorporate intercultural aspects into the educational process and cater to the diversity of cultural perspectives and learning experiences. This promotes more effective learning and the development of intercultural competencies. Overall, understanding the cultural peculiarities of other people will help them to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment and include in their lesson plans exciting tasks. This article is a helpful resource for aspiring teachers who want to enhance the quality of teaching English at the early stages of education. It includes sociocultural aspects to make lessons more engaging and contribute to a harmonious and open learning environment.
