Abstract

The article is dedicated to the implementation of sociocultural education in the process of developing foreign language communicative competence among future foreign language teachers in preschool education through the use of British music. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, the key characteristics of sociocultural education in the context of forming foreign language communicative competence in future foreign language teachers for preschool education are outlined, along with a sequence of actions for educators in organizing this type of training.

Special attention is given to the practical aspects of implementing sociocultural education, taking into account students' learning styles during practical English lessons. The article highlights the essential aspects of sociocultural education, which is a crucial component of modern pedagogical practice, and emphasizes the use of British music as a powerful educational tool for developing communicative and cultural competence in future educators. Music serves as an effective means to enhance motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes.

The practical illustration of sociocultural education is presented using British music as a resource, proving to be an efficient tool for optimizing the formation of foreign language communicative competence in future preschool foreign language teachers.

An effective foundation for sociocultural education lies in the pedagogical interaction between teachers and students. This interaction creates favorable conditions for open access to educational materials and resources, as well as for the exchange of experiences between educators and learners. Through such collaboration, a shared educational environment is formed, where both sides actively participate in the learning process, fostering mutual understanding, creativity, and critical thinking.

As the foreign language environment becomes an integral part of the lives of those studying languages, the significance of intercultural communication between representatives of various nationalities and cultures cannot be overemphasized. Effective foreign language communication skills not only facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences but also enhance cultural awareness, promote tolerance, and encourage respect for diversity.

By focusing on developing intercultural communication skills, future English teachers can help their students communicate confidently and respectfully with people from different cultures. This contributes to building a more inclusive and interconnected world.
