Summary

Introduction

In the period of globalization, the study of a foreign language becomes a necessity for integration in the modern world. The high degree of mobility of people around the world leads to intercultural interaction. In this regard, according to the new educational standards of June 5, 2012, each graduate of the Russian school is obliged to master at a certain level at least one foreign language.

The significance of the sociocultural component is often underestimated, it is precisely it, in our opinion, that can contribute to the transformation of the English language into a subject-specific discipline in Russian secondary schools
