Annotatsiya

Annotation: Language and culture are inextricably linked; language reflects cultural values, cognitive frameworks, and societal norms, while culture provides the essential communicative context for language use. Traditional approaches to foreign language pedagogy have often prioritized structural and grammatical competencies, frequently treating cultural acquisition as a secondary or supplementary element. This article investigates the linguocultural approach to foreign language instruction, emphasizing the systematic integration of linguistic forms and cultural concepts to foster comprehensive intercultural communicative competence (ICC).
