This article discusses the issues of intercultural interaction. Cultural components of the communicative practice enrichment and the factors of cultural and individual life experience have been identified, the ideas of intercultural education have been stipulated, and the problems of relations between native and studied cultures have been considered, as well as teacher training and the conditions of corresponding institutions. The priority of modern language education, ensuring its high quality, is the mastery of competencies in the field of ethnical and social culture, as well as the mastery of creative and critical analysis of the interaction in a multicultural world. In this regard, the article presents the identified pedagogical conditions of social and cultural competence formation of students. Also the components of communicative interaction mechanism between the teacher and students are examined. Modern approaches to the formation of the socio-cultural foreign language competence lies in the fact that a foreign culture should be studied in comparison with the native one, because understanding of a foreign culture is based on person's own understanding of the world. A contact between cultures is represented by the authors as a comparison of social, cultural and linguistic perspectives of native culture and studied culture. Introducing students to the historical background of another country for the purpose of better orientation in their own and alien society can not be limited by acquaintance with the actual conditions of that country, and should lead to the perception and reflection of their own values and social relationships.
