Education of a comprehensively developed personality is one of the strategic tasks in the period of globalization and internationalization of modern educational space. Intensive communication processes of the modern world make us assess the role and importance of a foreign language in the educational process in a different way. Today formation of a highly qualified specialist is impossible in a narrow local framework. The system of global education implies formation of foreign language speech communication in students, allowing them to communicate freely in a different socio-cultural environment. When learning foreign languages, students first of all encounter not linguistic problems, but factors that determine social, everyday and cultural spheres of a target language country. Therefore, modern methods of teaching a foreign language cannot but include a sociocultural aspect, because it is only on its basis that the effect of linguistic-cultural immersion is achieved. The dialectical method is the basis of the methodology of the presented research. In the system analysis of various methods of learning foreign languages, the author uses a synergetic method. Investigating the application of the sociocultural approach in education, the author relies on the categorical apparatus presented in modern Pedagogy, Sociology and Cultural studies. As a result of the study, it has been shown that modern methods of teaching a foreign language should include socio-cultural aspects, which allow students to adapt more quickly to any foreign language environment.
