Сейчас одной из главных задач учителя на уроках иностранного языка является развить у обучающихся социокультурную компетенцию. Однако часто заданий, представленных в учебно-методических комплексах для развития всех аспектов социокультурной компетенции (лингвострановедческого, культурологического, социолингвистического и социально-психологического), недостаточно.

Кроме УМК на уроках иностранного языка для развития социокультурной компетенции можно использовать различные дополнительные ресурсы, которые в купе с учебником позволят эффективно сформировать социокультурную компетенцию.

В связи с этим мы разработали комплекс упражнений, направленных на развитие социокультурной и социолингвистической компетенции в дополнение к учебнику «Rainbow English» 10 класс (базовый уровень) О.В. Афанасьева, И.В. Михеева, К.М. Баранова.

«BRITISH ETIQUETTE»

The basic cultural norms for residents of European and other developed countries are similar, but there are some peculiarities of etiquette. So, English etiquette is based on the character traits inherent in the British.

Residents of England always follow the rules of etiquette, which amazes many foreigners. English politeness and equanimity in any situation become the subject of ridicule from outsiders, but at the same time, no one will have the desire to call someone who adheres to strict rules of etiquette ill-mannered.

In communication, true Englishmen are restrained and emotionless. It is considered bad form to discuss something loudly, gesticulate, or express your emotions in a different way. Excessive expression of emotions for the British is considered a manifestation of theatricality, and therefore insincerity. Moreover, they will smile at you during a conversation, no matter how they personally treat you.

It is forbidden by the rules of conduct to keep your hands in your pockets while talking. Hands should always be in sight of the interlocutor. Like many other nations, this is considered a sign of openness and sincerity.

All conversations in English society are reduced to discussing the weather, news and other unimportant things. Even during a business conversation, they have a conversation on neutral topics for some time. Asking too personal questions, asking about money and family relationships in England is not customary. It is considered absolutely normal to answer the question "How are you?" answer "And how are you?" The British try not to initiate anyone into their personal life and expect the same attitude from others.

The people's adherence to traditions does not even allow them to be late for lunch or dinner in their own home, as well as the well-known traditional five-hour tea drinking. Etiquette is observed by everyone at the table and even in their own home. All cutlery necessary for a specific meal should be used at home, as well as during social events and feasts in a restaurant. During a secular lunch or dinner, it is not customary to communicate in a whisper with a neighbor at the table.
