Relevance. Language profoundly influences cultural stereotypes, strengthens social ties, and fosters harmony in educational and social settings. This study is crucial for understanding how language shapes communication, supports inclusive educational practices, and adapts to the evolving nature of cultural interactions in a globalized world. Purpose. The aim of the study was to investigate the process of formation of communication culture among students through the use of language in different socio-cultural contexts. Methodology. A survey of students from Kazakh and Kyrgyz universities was conducted. The analysis of its results made it possible to obtain a preliminary understanding of the students' perspectives. Results. As a result of the survey, it was revealed that students assess the high importance of language culture and realize its influence on various aspects of their life and learning. Students recognized that the level of language proficiency significantly influences their ability to communicate effectively, as well as their perception and understanding of the cultural characteristics of other individuals. The high level of students� awareness of the impact of language culture on their professional development indicates their readiness to compete in the international labour market and their desire to develop intercultural skills. Considering the results of the survey, it should be noted that modern technologies, especially social networks and messengers, have a significant impact on students� communication culture. Conclusions. The study revealed that the national language plays an important role in the cultural and social spheres of society in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The study also revealed that foreign languages are significant in the multilingual environment of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and have a significant impact on communicative practices and the structure of communication. Taking into account students� cultural peculiarities and identity, training should contribute to their comprehensive development of communicative skills and successful interaction in different situations.
