THE ROLE OF LINGUOCULTURAL COMPETENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TEACHER’S PROFESSIONAL PERSONALITY
The article deals with the role of linguocultural competence in the formation of the professional personality of a future teacher. It is shown here that the formation of linguocultural competence can be considered as a global goal of language teaching; this competence includes not only the language knowledge, i.e. its structure and semantics, features of functioning, as well as rhetorical aspects, but also constantly focuses on the cultural component, which contributes to the formation of the professional personality of the future teacher.
The dictionary itself is based on the concept of teacher-dictionary-student interaction. The Russian word is presented in it as a multi-aspect phenomenon, therefore, various reference material, socio-cultural, linguistic and literary comments, links to language rules, etc. are placed in the dictionary entry. Its socio-cultural orientation is expressed in the fact that many Belarusian realities are set into the dictionary, which has led to an increase in the interest of students in the Russian language, because they are more willing to work with material that is native to them. The article presents the ways of formation of linguocultural competence – through the use of our compiled complex dictionary of the Russian language and a system of didactic tasks, each of them contains cultural texts such as fiction, journalistic, popular scientific texts, etc.
As a result, the future teacher acquires basic knowledge that reflects the language in interaction with culture, forms the skills to use and apply them; this is how the future teacher develops his/ her abilities to improve professional pedagogical competence, language culture, and, therefore, general culture as a whole.
