The article analyzes the role of the discourse of manuals and textbooks as a channel of representing hidden curriculum in foreign language teaching in connection with building communicative competence of students. The author suggests his own version based on the analysis of different interpretations of the term, separating the notions of discourse and text and, at the same time, establishing their close mutual connection. The article emphasizes the sociocultural origins of discourse, produced by speakers who represent their native cultures that is verbalized by their native languages. The author claims that the axiological aspect of hidden curriculum is dominant in language education. It is realized through transmitting norms and values of native speakers to the students who use the manuals and textbooks. Such transmission becomes possible when the learning process is deformalized and the students go into a specific state of ‘flow’ which provides greater attention and makes them more perceptive to the impact of a different kind. The article points out that in the discourse of manuals and textbooks hidden curriculum is represented by a variety of semiotic means, which can be revealed by conducting discourse analysis of the suggested texts.

Успешность межкультурной коммуникации напрямую зависит от степени развитости лингвосоциокультурной компетенции ее участников. В обучении иностранному языку решающую роль в формировании данной компетенции играет лингвострановедение. Поскольку изучение социокультурных реалий носителей является основной задачей этой области обучения иностранного языка, составляя его официально декларируемое содержание образования, оно может сопровождаться смежным побочным процессом трансляции социокультурных норм и ценностей, вербализуемых языком, делая возможной культурную экспансию через преподавание иностранного языка. В результате данной трансляции реализуется официально незаложенное, скрытое содержание образования.
