The relevance of the research topic in the article is due to ongoing changes in Russia at the political, economic and socio-cultural levels, which have necessitated changes in the higher education system. An objective contradiction arose between the growing need of a modern person for the ability to perform productive linguistic and cultural activities in the context of rapid updating of information and the undeveloped theoretical and methodological foundations of linguistic culture formation in the process of students’ self-education in teaching a foreign language. The purpose of the research: the development of the linguistic culture formation concept in the process of students’ self-education in teaching a foreign language and its implementation at the university. The article was prepared with the use of the following methods: theoretical review and analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the research problem, pedagogical observation and generalization of Russian universities experience. According to the results of the research, it was found that the use of the concept, developed in the course of the research, contributed to solving the most important scientific and methodological problems of effective training for linguistic and cultural activities and continuous self-education of students in foreign language teaching at Russian universities. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of a holistic concept, which reveals the essence, goals and objectives, the substantive characteristics of the linguistic culture formation model in the process of self-education of students in teaching a foreign language. The practical significance of the research lies in the development of a method of linguistic culture forming in the process of students’ self-education in teaching a foreign language at the university. As a result, it is concluded that the use of the data, obtained in the course of the research, will allow us to further adapt the method of forming linguistic culture in the process of students’ self-education in teaching a foreign language at other types of educational institutions: secondary and additional professional education.
