Algorithm for developing the foundations of sociocultural competence of primary school pupils in the process of learning to read in English lessons

The study explores the development of sociocultural competence (SCC) in primary school pupils through English reading lessons. Integrating pre-text, while-text, and post-text stages, the proposed algorithm activates prior knowledge, fosters anticipatory skills, and promotes comprehension. Findings confirm that sociocultural materials effectively enhance reading skills, supporting pupils’ linguistic, speech, and cultural development in line with curriculum requirements.
