Developing linguoculturological competence of international students during the extracurricular activity (using the example of the «Cinema day»)

linguistic and cultural competence is a key factor in the successful adaptation and integration of international students into a new linguistic and cultural environment. Extracurricular activity, unlike formal classroom learning, provides unique opportunities for the development of this competence, complementing and deepening the knowledge gained in lectures and seminars, immersing students in the real context of language use. Watching films and communicating with native speakers in an informal setting contribute not only to expanding vocabulary, but also to understanding the cultural nuances, traditions and mentality of the country of the Russian language. In addition, extracurricular activities contribute to the formation of a positive attitude towards the language and culture being studied, and increase motivation to learn. The presented article describes the structure of the «Cinema Day», provides methodological recommendations based on the example of two films «The Caucasian Captive, or the New Adventures of Shurik» (directed by L. Gaidai) and «Cheburashka» (directed by D. Dyachenko).
