Abstract
One of the main goals of foreign language teaching is establishing a communicative competence in students in its tight connection with the culture of the corresponding country. The modern foreign language pedagogy is in a constant search of the ways to improve the educational process. One of such ways - lignucognitive - is being considered. It allows to integrate the achievements of cognitive linguistics into the structure of communicative-oriented teaching for education quality improvement. There were mentioned the results of a number of scientific researches that have proven to be effective in implementing of different methods of cognitive linguistics while teaching lexical and grammatical aspects of foreign language. While focusing on a series of foreign language teaching linguocognitive studies it has been proven that the principles and methods of cognitive linguistics can be integrated into the structure of lessons. Such an integration meets a number of criteria for an effective education: accessibility, visualization, explication, motivation, anthropocentricity, structuredness, communicative orientation, cultural conditionality, reflectivity. Eventually that allows to achieve the main goal of the pedagogic process while teaching foreign languages - language acquisition in all its aspects and its connection to the culture of the corresponding country.
