LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL APPROACH TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

The linguoculturological approach to English language learning emphasizes the integration of language and culture as inseparable elements in the process of acquiring communicative competence. Unlike traditional methods that primarily focus on grammar and vocabulary, this approach considers cultural values, national mentality, and symbolic meanings embedded in the language. The article explores the significance of linguoculturology in English teaching, its role in fostering intercultural communication, and practical strategies for applying this methodology in modern classrooms. It concludes that effective English language learning should not only provide linguistic knowledge but also cultivate cultural awareness and tolerance, preparing learners to become active participants in the global dialogue. The article examines the theoretical foundations of linguoculturology, its significance in fostering intercultural competence, and practical strategies for implementation in English language classrooms. It concludes that effective language learning requires the development of both linguistic skills and cultural awareness, enabling learners to communicate successfully in a globalized world.
