DIALOGUE COMMUNICATIVE STRUCTURES
IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING FOREIGN-LANGUAGE
DIALOGIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS
T.B. Mikheeva, M.V. Ereshchenko
Abstract. The interrelation between the strategical content of a dialogue and
the specific character of its grammatical, lexical and syntactic arrangement
remains the most important question to be answered. The simulating of lingual
interaction can be used in the process of creating new systems of conditionally
communicative strategic exercises for teaching dialogue. This paper repre-
sents a study of the aspects of developing effective
dialogic models with due
consideration of their communicative structures in the process of teaching a
foreign language. The main communicative strategies and approaches applied
to different multinational groups and groups with mixed
age at different stages
of teaching are described here. A concept of a simulated dialogue is proposed
in this study. The concept means controlled conversational interaction (dialog-
ic interaction) between persons being taught, which is composed of different
dialogue partners' personal intentions implemented in coordination. Unsym-
metrical contacts affect the dialogue development, where tactic forms
choice
limitations get involved, wider prospect of a dialogue is provided due to the
equal social roles of participants interested in the perception of information
communicated, and dialogue simulation ensures necessary volume of a speech
interaction act. The results of a linguistic experiment conducted using the el-
ements of conscious effect on the process of natural lingual interaction were
used as material for study. The process was controlled
by means of unex-
pected introduction of a new incentive (stimulus). The pseudo-
communicativeness of such interaction was eliminated due to the availability
of incentives aimed at expanding the elementary cycle through the introduc-
tion of new structural strategic components, a new aim, or a new script. Sev-
eral students learning Russian as a foreign language took part in the experi-
ment. As a result of studies undertaken a corpus of extracted dialogues was
compiled. Applying the communicative tactics as a basis for teaching a for-
eign language the use of a simulated dialogue can promote the optimization of
the teaching process and supplementary motivation
in learning a foreign lan-
guage as a communication tool, because the choice of an optimal way of ex-
pressing intentions is the communicative need of any person learning a lan-
guage.
