Culture and language are inseparable from each other. Consequently, the integration of cultural content into language education becomes highly valuable, promoting the embracement of diverse cultures and intercultural understanding. This research aimed to explore the viewpoints of English major students on the importance of acquiring competence in American and British cultural competence for interpretation skills. A survey with two sections was employed to gather data from 32 participants, and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Overall, the study's findings indicated that EFL students had positive attitudes towards American and British cultures and the integration of these factors in interpretation courses. However, challenges arise when interpreting between Vietnamese and English due to unfamiliar cultural terms and concepts, as well as the lack of equivalent idioms in Vietnamese-English and English-Vietnamese interpreting. In the light of findings, the study provides essential recommendations for students and educators, emphasizing the need to enhance students' academic performance and intercultural competence as well as foster positive perceptions of the target cultures.

Thus, the authors proofed there is an urgent need for students to prepare for effective intercultural communication in the educational institution.…”

The objective of the research is to examine the features of socio-cultural competence and its development among master students studying a second foreign language. To reach the objective, the following tasks should be solved: to define socio-cultural competence, to analyze its components / its content; to analyze an example of a training course for master students, in which the formation and development of socio-cultural competence is expected; to conduct a survey among students; to analyze the empirical data obtained; to make a conclusion about the degree of awareness / understanding of the need to develop socio-cultural competence when learning a (second) foreign language. The proposed study is theoretically significant to some degree for methodological science (the section devoted to communicative competence and its components) and is practically valuable since it describes the specific experience of the formation and development of the competence being studied in higher education.
