Cultural Transformation in the Lingua-didactical Dimension

The concept of “culture” is viewed from a lingua-didactical position as transformation of cultural facts with original contours, specific content and distinctive features, such as: transformation of cultural facts relevant to the cultural approach to teaching foreign languages; transformation of cultural facts of the target language's country; transformation of students’ country cultural facts; transformation of the facts of two contacting cultures which are characteristic for the teaching of foreign social-bicultural competence. Relative-comparative analysis of cultural transformations is described as the teaching method for the formation of foreign language social-bicultural competence.
