Abstrakt: The objective of the current study is to experimentally test the pedagogical conditions aimed at ensuring the efficient formation of sociocultural competence in foreign students by using local history texts in the lessons of Russian as a foreign language (RFL). The efficiency of the formation of sociocultural competence by including linguistic and local history information was revealed by means of an experiment using the methods of observing students during the educational process, questionnaires, testing and conversations between students and teachers. The results of the experiment conducted in two groups, a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), show that the inclusion of local history texts in the process of studying Russian as a foreign language significantly increases students' interest in intercultural contacts, develops respect for the customs of another culture, fluent speech, deepens the knowledge of norms and values of one's native culture and other cultures. It was revealed that after conducting the experiment, the number of students with an advanced level of language proficiency in the experimental group increased from 8.8% to 23.5%, while in the control group it decreased from 11.8% to 8.8%. The results obtained during the experimental work make it possible to conclude that the level of sociocultural competence in the experimental group, consisting of preparatory course students who were trained with the use of local history texts, is higher by all the components than in the control group of students who studied Russian without using local history texts. These results are indicative of the positive experience of the formation of linguistic competence as part of sociocultural competence in the lessons of Russian as a foreign language at the Yelabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University and the possibility of its further use.
