Abstract
The article focuses on the relevance of building the basics of cultural communication with schoolchildren both at school and at home. In compliance with the Federal State Education Standard a school-leaver is expected to have mastered a high enough level of interpersonal culture, communicative competence for formal and informal communication. Teaching communication and speaking techniques, speech etiquette, business language will enable school-leavers to get adapted to independent life in the society. Developing special games, tests, speech manuals and readers may make the process of building communication skills successful and efficient.
