The article deals with the necessity of taking into account such social and pedagogical principle as the principle of cross-cultural dialogue when teaching a foreign language, in particular when teaching foreign language dialogical speech activity. The purpose of the work is to study this social and pedagogical principle from the communicative point of view, based on the last researches in the field of linguistics, pedagogic and techniques of teaching foreign languages. Today the concept of culture is considered by the majority of scientists not only as the product of a certain group of people or as the system of signs reflecting the world, but also as the standard way of thinking and acting, as information, a set of knowledge, ideas apprehended and realized by people. We consider culture through a prism of the language, and the language as the main means of reflection and expression of culture when interrelating a foreign language training and the corresponding culture, and also when studying the native culture at foreign language classes. Thus, it is necessary to pay due attention to the problem of teaching both culture and foreign languages in the era of globalization as it is one of the leading social and pedagogical purposes of the higher education.
