Abstract

The article deals with the problem of engineering students’ socio-cultural competence formation. Based on the analysis of pedagogical, methodological, linguistic literature, the author identifies the criteria for the linguistic and cultural texts selection, which are the methodical and methodological basis for students’ socio-cultural competence formation: content, authenticity, thematicity, information content, aesthetic, linguistic criteria: vocabulary, grammar and stylistics. This article presents findings on a system of exercises based on linguistic and cultural educational learning, as a means of socio-cultural competence formation. It is reported that this system of exercises was introduced into the educational process of students of Kazan State Power Engineering University in the study of the discipline "Foreign language"; "Business foreign language" in 2016-2019. The reported findings made it possible to implement general pedagogical principles - the principles of fundamental and applied orientation, reflecting the features of students’ socio-cultural competence forming within the process of foreign language teaching, as well as to provide students with the availability of educational material, its assimilation strength, the gradual increase in difficulties and the cognitive capabilities development.
