This article attacks the problem of linguistic sociocultural competence, which is an integral part of teaching foreign intercultural communication. Nowdays it is considered as a goal of foreign language skills training. Currently, the goal of teaching foreign languages is to develop intercultural competence in students and form a holistic cultural and linguistic personality. This problem is associated with the actualization of communicative linguistic-sociocultural competencies. Those issues have become one of the important target in training foreign language competence of students both for Ukrainian and foreign teachers and scientists. This connection can be clearly seen through the concept of linguistic-sociocultural competence (LSCC). LSCC was accepted as the authorship of an individual to create cross-cultural communication, which is based on some knowledge of lexical units containing national cultural semantics and their substitution in situations of intercultural collaboration. It is important to use background knowledge (historical-cultural, socio-cultural and ethno-cultural backgrounds) to achieve cultural understanding with native language. The importance of LSCC bases on its functions. The main ones are as follows: value orientation; cognitive-humanistic, motivating and regulatory function. There are three components in LSCC. They can be determined as: 1) linguistic knowledge and skills; 2) social-psychological knowledge and skills; 3) cultural knowledge and skills. The next component of LSCC is socio-psychological knowledge and skills. This group can be intelligently divided into those that are nationally specific and those that are individual. The deepest sociopsychological knowledge includes knowledge about the country, as well as the use of communication technology. As a result, the national and cultural specificity of verbal and non-verbial communication is most often based on universal knowledge and semantic meanings, which are significant for them. Knowledge about the strategy and tactics of communication and speaking skills is assumed by them. It should be taken into account that knowledge of the strategy and tactics of communication and mastery of them presuppose expressiveness of language, orientation towards the statement, orientation towards the addressee, self-regulation and regulation of actions, status, culture of speech.
