“The role of educational technologies in the development of sociocultural competences of student”
In the period of globalization, the study of a foreign language becomes a necessity for integration in the modern world. The high degree of mobility of people around the world leads to intercultural interaction. In this regard, according to the new educational standards, each graduate of school is obliged to master at a certain level at least one foreign language. However, language learning includes many aspects, one of which is sociocultural. Direct communication with native speakers requires competence not only in matters of grammar and phonetics of a foreign language, but also in the field of foreign culture, traditions and customs. The significance of the sociocultural component is often underestimated, although it is precisely it, in our opinion, that can contribute to the transformation of the English language into a subject-specific discipline in Uzbekistan secondary schools. The President of our country Shavkat Mirziyoyev pays special attention to this sphere, which has an important place in ensuring the future of the country and its development. In the Decree of President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev «On Uzbekistan’s development Strategy " is mentioned about achieving major improvement of in quality of general secondary education, facilitating in-depth study of foreign languages, computer science, and other important and popular disciplines.
The peculiarity of a foreign language functioning is that its communicative function provides intercultural communication. The interdisciplinary nature of the content of the subject “foreign language” has favourable opportunities for creating a wide sociocultural educational space, while using the sociocultural approach in language education that gives a new, deeper and more meaningful discovery of all components of the concept of functional sociocultural literacy. Socio-cultural competence can be achieved at the expense of other disciplines, and such sources of sociocultural information as literature, mass media, the Internet, and films and can be an essential addition to the development of sociocultural competence.
The knowledge of the native speakers’ culture provides with a deeper mutual understanding. The main thing in the process of learning is not only the accumulation of information about the country, but also the knowledge of people, their peers, the way of thinking, behaviour, and attitude to human values. We can say that culture and intercultural communication problems should be presented in educational process as global education objectives. However, the new concept of sociocultural education requires serious didactic thinking, choice of approach to learning a foreign language which can provide socialization of training foreign language communication and connection of communicative activity of students with cognitive research to the study of sociocultural portrait of native speakers.
This course paper is based on investigated opportunities of using educational technologies and its role in the development of students’ sociocultural competences. To confirm this statement an experiment was performed. Two groups of school student were taken in Termez school 1. Control group was trained with the use of traditional methods of education and experimental group was trained Initial level of sociocultural competences in both groups was equal.
The aim of this course work is to trace and compare level of development of students sociocultural competences in both groups. The importance of this study is beyond doubt because of the development of eduactional technologies leads to the change of the teacher’s role in educational process
The main language material of the work has been gathered from some theoretical books, scientific articles, which has been devoted to increasing vocabulary so that the evidence of the research results could be doubtless.
The theoretical and practical value of the paper lies in its applicability to teaching language methodology and practical English lessons. The present findings can be useful for teachers and specialists of the educational system and youth policy. Also, the course work findings can be applied to work out and organize large-scale or local educational and social projects.
