The relevance of the work is due to the study of the formation of students’ communicative competence aimed at the development of culture, language and history of the Sakha people, promoting successful dialogue with representatives of other nationalities taking into account regional education specifics. The aim of the study is to develop communicative competence of students in the process of learning English on the basis of the use of ethnocultural traditions of the Sakha people. To achieve the goal of the research, we have the task of clarification and definition of essential characteristics of communicative competence, identification of its component structure taking into account the specific features of regional education, determining the level of its formation when learning English based on the use of linguistic and cultural material. The study used a method of analysis of psychological-pedagogical literature, aimed at clarifying the essential concepts «communicative competence» taking into account the specifics of regional education. Scientific novelty of the results obtained is defined as follows: the authors developed an idea of structuring formation of students’ communication competence, which is based on the use of ethnocultural potential of traditions of people of Sakha in educational process, present the analysis of «communicative competence» concept in the studies of Russian and foreign authors, define its level and components taking into account the specifics of regional education. The theoretical significance of the study is in expanding scientific knowledge in the field of regionalization of education through the theoretical substantiation of a significant scientific problem of ethnic-cultural competence of students in modern conditions and its implementation taking into account the potential of the ethnocultural traditions of the Sakha people in learning English. The practical significance of the results of the study is that a diagnostic tool has been developed and applied, including a set of techniques that allow us to assess the level of formed communicative competence of the trainees. In addition, the educational material of the subject «Foreign language» has been enriched, which helps to gradually form all components of the competence being studied. The presented data of the experimental work show a positive dynamics of communicative competence formation among students in learning English taking into account regional education specifics. The developed linguistic and cultural material can be used in the formation of communicative competence of students at university.

The relevance of the problem under study lies in the fact that the formation of the information culture among schoolchildren is a key task of modern education. Modern means of the digital educational environment (DEE) should be used to solve this task. The purpose of the study is to prove the effectiveness of the DEE funds use in the educational process of a secondary school for the formation of information culture of students. The research methods were: theoretical analysis of psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature on various aspects of the research problem, analysis of the content of normative legal documents, generalization of pedagogical experience, pedagogical experiment, testing and questionnaires, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the empirical research results, data processing using methods of mathematical statistics. Theoretical significance: the essence and structure of the student’s information culture are defined as a dynamic integrative characteristic of the student's personality, possessing motivational and value orientations, moral and ethical responsibility, reflexive and evaluative skills, capable of information activities to perform educational tasks in digital educational environment. Practical significance: diagnostic tools have been developed and applied, including a combination of valid methods that allow assessing the level of the formed information culture of schoolchildren by means of DEE within the framework of the identified components (motivational-value, information-activity, moral-ethical, reflexive-evaluative). The homogeneity of the groups, as well as the effectiveness of the formation of the information culture among students was confirmed using the statistical method of processing research data. Novelty: the following DEE didactic tools have been implemented: digital educational resource, online excursions, digital books, educational mobile computer games, animated films, school television, school messenger channel, mobile application for self-development. The positive dynamics of the formation of the information culture among schoolchildren in experimental groups has been obtained. The presented didactic means of DEE can be used for the formation of the information culture of schoolchildren by teachers of secondary schools.
