STRATEGIC ASPECTS OF DIALOGIC COMMUNICATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING AT INITIAL STAGE

Strategic aspects of dialogic communication are closely related to the psychological factors that determine the structure of the dialogue: personalities of partners, their interests, assessments, desires, opinions, communication problems and solutions to achieve communicative goals. Discursive strategies which are indirect ways to achieve communicative goal allow us to avoid negative psychological effects due to unwanted reactions of communication partners. This research focuses on strategic assets designed to influence the interlocutor during the dialogic communication in the native and foreign language. The article deals with the strategic components of the complete dialogic cycle: before-center, before-answer and after-center and such subsidiary strategic steps as explainers, expanders and disarmers. These strategies can be used in teaching dialogical communication in a foreign language at elementary stage. Pilot training has shown that the use of strategic elements in communicative exercises not only promotes better assimilation of dialogical structures, but also improves business communication skills of students.
