Abstract
Nowadays in the epoch of international, economic, diplomatic, cultural ties, the intercultural communication being considered as the communication of the representatives of different ethnolingvocultural communities has its own peculiarities both in lingvocultural and sociocultural aspects. Moreover the role of intercultural communication in teaching a foreign language at the initial stage of training becomes one of the most important and promising directions in methods of teaching, because it makes a significant contribution to the development of the individual worldview theory. As it is generally known mastering a foreign language at the initial stage is more effective in the process of comparing both the foreign language (English) and the native (Tatar) ones. Our experience in teaching English for the Tatar audience shows that the acquisition of the target language is more resulting if the teacher systematically and regularly compares verbal means of speech etiquette of the studied language and the mother tongue.
