Current article deals with the problem of the development of students' social responsibility skills in the process of language teaching. Appropriate methods, texts, exercises and practical tasks are examined to observe the peculiarities of the development of students' social responsibility skills alongside with their language acquisition.
Through the appropriate observation and analyses the paper clarifies the idea that only with the presence of student-centered instructional context it is possible to form and develop the above-mentioned competence, simultaneously ensuring effectiveness of the teaching process.
Methods for teaching social responsibility are different. Here the role of the teacher is essential. He/she should make a careful elaboration of the lesson plan, taking into account the children's age, interests, as well as the topic of the lesson, goals, expected outputs and different other pedagogical and educational components.
Within the framework of this article we try to present our observations related to the issue of formation and development of social responsibility of students particularly at the elementary and secondary stages of learning.
It becomes clear that today social responsibility is a life-skill, a value that helps a person, in this case, a school student, to recognize his own skills, to gain independence, self-confidence, the ability to live and orient himself in different socio-cultural contexts.
