The subject of my scientific research is “The Innovative Methods of Language Learning in the Linguacultural Aspect and the Effective Use of New Technologies in Teaching”. The formation of cross-cultural competencies is one of the 10 most important skills of the 21st century, and therefore it is one of the urgent and priority tasks of teaching a language. To achieve this goal, it is necessary not only to learn a certain set of lexical and grammatical units, but also to understand their national-cultural specificity, the national-cultural meanings contained in them. This, in turn, is impossible without a deep knowledge of the history of a given nation, its culture, mythology, traditions and values, as well as knowledge of how they are fixed and expressed in language, and the ability to distinguish and interpret national cultural connotations. In addition, the use of new innovative e-learning technologies is the most important tool in the field of education.
