Issue 38 published

The current volume is devoted to the issues of linguodidactics and discourse studies. B. Tzimorota gives an overview of teaching experience in Greece and the role of storytelling in educating young learners.

А.P. Avramenko and M.A. Davydova describe an approach to the integrated writing tasks perceived through the prism of the concept of “mediation skills”.

T. A. Dmitrenko and I. M. Gorodnichev study the issues of teaching national variants of English and explain why sometimes students can not differentiate British English from American English which leads to communicative failures while communicating with native English speakers.

Various aspects of discourse analysis are investigated: the phenomenon of conflict discourse (I. S. Lebedeva and P.K. Fedorova), speech influence in Brazilian political discourse (R.I. Proklov) and socionic aspects of persuasion in advertising (I. D. Romanova).
