The article investigates the importance of reading literary texts in gaining cross-cultural competence for successful inter-cultural communication. Reading literary texts facilitate fundamental mastering of culture, understanding of national mentality, creating deeply emotional positive attitude to another cultural values and historical heritage. The process of reading literary texts includes the following aspects: – considering reading of literary texts as means of mastering reading and writing skills; – choosing appropriate literary texts; – carrying authentic-semantic analysis; – molding socio-cultural competence while reading literary texts; – making use of linguo-stylistic potential of literary texts for creating culturological image that arises in reader’s consciousness depending on the contents of the analysis of the literary texts suggested. The contents treatment of literary texts is of two approaches a language analysis of the language used and a literary analysis of the meaning. Keeping the balance of these two is rather preferable. The article points out some literary models of the texts: – the cultural model aimed on cultural acquisition; – the language model focused on lexico-grammatical analysis; – the personal growth model is considered as the interaction between the text and attempting to make the study of language and enjoyment of cultural aspect of literature resulted in fostering linguistic abilities, the combination of the cultural model and the personal growth model in more advisable. Some significant ways of cultural infiltration into the language of literary texts are distinguished: aesthetic, sociolog- ical, semantic, sociolinguistic. To solve the problem of revealing socio-cultural potential of literary texts the following criteria are determined: – availability of socio-cultural information; – the way the information is presented; – semantic and stylistic filling. The crucial steps to be taken for successful inter-cultural communication are singled out: – establish conceptual cross-cultural bridges; – foster an attitude of cultural relevance; – work toward self-understanding; – identify facilitating and interfering factors; – develop cultural judgment. The substantial socio-cultural contents of literary texts is a considerable investment into cross-cultural competence for inter-cultural communication as well as into the reader’s sensitivity to how culture elements can become embedded in the language and affect both of which will contribute to overall inter-cultural communication.
