INTEGRATIVE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO TEACHING COLOR CONCEPTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LINGUOCULTURAL COMPETENCE

One of the key objectives of foreign language learning in the modern world is the formation of linguocultural competence. [2] As units of linguocultures, color concepts provide a special avenue in a combination of language and culture. [1] The article is a theoretical one in which the author discusses integrative methodology in teaching the concept of color, combining cognitive, communicative, and comparative-cultural models. [3]It offers a conceptual framework, which is used to plan the instructional strategies in terms of progressive phases, with a focus on reflective, analytical, and contextually informed learning. Despite the lack of empirical classroom studies, the study provides an extensive theoretical framework to the process of learning about how the color-based teaching may be applied with systematic improvements in linguistic, mental, and intercultural abilities of learners. [7] The results can be used to make subsequent empirical research and methodology creation in foreign language teaching.
