Actuality of the theme: The problem I work at: “The Linguocultural Aspect as the Means of Formation of Pupils’ Sociocultural Competence at the English Lessons” Actuality of the theme: language and culture are undividable. Without cultural setting language itself is senseless; connection between the language and culture of the nation is most vividly reflected in the facts linked with its state system, natural peculiarities, history and culture.

Linguoculturology is the humanity studying interconnections between language and culture. Linguoculturology explores communicative processes in close linkage with consciousness of a nation, its traditions and customs; It is closely interlinked not only with philology but also with philosophy, sociology, culturology etc.; Formation of a foreign communicative competence is impossible without the formation of linguoculturological experience.

Objective: to determine the ways of forming linguoculturological experience in the process of learning the English language. Tasks: to enrich and renew the pupils’ linguoculturological knowledge; to extend pupils’ cognitive interests due to the acquaintance with English-speaking world; to realize the value of the linguocultural knowledge to use it in practice.
