Language and culture co-study issues have a permanent tendency to be interpreted from the view point of socio-cultural competence. In this regard, a foreign language teacher faces the problem of creating pedagogical conditions for the effective development of linguistic and socio-cultural competencies of students in order to acquire the ability to use a foreign language in the process of intercultural communication. As one of the ways to solve this problem, the authors of the article suggest using authentic proverbial material in the process of teaching a foreign language. The authors believe that the national culture and modern language trends are most fully and vividly manifested in the paremiological units of the language, which include Proverbs and anti-Proverbs. Their use at different stages of learning a foreign language will become an additional source of background knowledge about the country of a target language and contribute to the evaluation of students’ language and speaking skills. With the help of experimental and diagnostic training, the authors are trying to prove and justify the effectiveness of using authentic proverbial material in the process of teaching a foreign language to secondary school students of the 9th grade. The analysis of empirical data has shown that indicators of socio-cultural and linguistic competence development are the abilities of students to interpret adequately background information and use a set of language tools for intercultural communication. Participants of experimental diagnostic testing objectively improved the indicators of the level of training and demonstrated the abitity to use background knowledge fluently.

На сегодняшний день использование аутентичных видеороликов на уроках иностранного языка в общеобразовательной школе является актуальной темой для исследования и изучения. Использование видео на уроках способствует формированию навыков и развитию умений одного из важнейших видов речевой деятельности – говорения. Сопоставляя факты, культурные особенности, поведение людей в социуме, мы формируем положительное отношение к культуре страны изучаемого языка, используя современные техники и приемы работы с видеоматериалами. Описаны критерии отбора аутентичных видеороликов и основные этапы работы с видеоматериалами, которые можно использовать на уроках иностранного языка в средней школе. Представлены результаты исследования по изучению влияния различных аутентичных видеороликов на процесс совершенствования навыков монологической речи. Наглядно показана тенденция эффективности использования аутентичных видео в процессе совершенствования навыков говорения учащихся и положительная динамика отношения учащихся к процессу обучения в целом. Также показана необходимость развития умений говорения посредством использования в учебном процессе аутентичных видео, отмечая, что данному процессу будет посвящено отдельное внимание в следующих научных работах. Полученные результаты исследования позволяют наметить стратегию дальнейшей работы с видеоматериалами. Nowadays the use of authentic videos at the lessons of foreign lessons in secondary schools is an urgent topic for research and study. The use of video at the lessons contributes to the formation of skills and the development of skills of one of the most important types of speech activity – speaking. Comparing the facts, cultural characteristics, and the behaviour of people in society, we form a positive attitude to the culture of the country of the language being studied, using modern techniques and techniques for working with video materials. The article describes the criteria for selecting authentic videos and the main stages of working with video materials that can be used at the lessons of foreign language in secondary schools. The article presents the results of a study on the influence of various authentic videos on the process of improving the skills of monologue speech. The article demonstrates the tendency of the effective use of authentic videos in the process of improving the students’ speaking skills and the positive dynamics of the students’ attitude to the learning process as a whole. The necessity to develop speaking skills through the use of authentic videos in the educational process is also shown, noting that this process will be given special attention in the following scientific papers. The results of the study allow us to outline a strategy for further work with video materials.

The article covers a comparative and cognitive review of English proverbs about friends and enemies including their etymological aspects and the historical viewpoint. The aim was to determine the way a proverb fulfils its function as a country-specific element within historical and cultural context and reflects kinds and stages of cognition. The cognitive analysis of friend-and enemy-related paroemias' implications as well as the association test based on friend and enemy stimulus words were carried out. Based on the research findings, a proverb is seen as a condensed wise saying having potential to actualize a fragment of worldview in a semantically accurate non-ambiguous way in the given context, but having a wider range of implications and interpretations at its core. The association test with friend and enemy stimulus words demonstrates a more limited list of reactions predominantly based on personal experience and basic associations, thus resulting in positive reactions to a friend stimulus word and negative ones to an enemy counterpart. It can be concluded that the proverbs' etymological aspect turns out to be an essential ground to understand the roots and dynamics of cognitive processes and the worldview as its fundamental component of a particular nation or society. A comparative analysis of proverbs with the given key notions in different languages helps to find evidence of the universal core elements of cognition as well as country-related variations. A cognitive review of friend-and enemy-related proverbs results in a wide scope of implications tending to embody relatively polar interpretations.
