Designing a system of activity tasks in the process of teaching schoolchildren speech strategies

modern realities of educational theory and practice indicate an ever-increasing need to develop an important component of communicative competence in students – a component of speech strategies that accumulate speech acts associated with the goal of achieving a communicative goal, preliminary planning of a communication scenario, taking into account the parameters of a communicative situation and the characteristics of the communication participants. As part of the educational process at school, it is necessary to teach schoolchildren the following speech strategies: establishing contact; setting a communicative goal; verifying missing information and clarifying it; expressing emotions; formulating a request and response; expressing a position / opinion; ending communication; refusing to communicate; resolving a conflict. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the need to design a system of activity-based tasks in the process of teaching schoolchildren speech strategies. The objectives of the study are: defining the essence of the concept of "speech strategies" and identifying speech strategies that need to be taught in a comprehensive school; developing and describing a system of activity-based tasks in the process of teaching schoolchildren speech strategies. The practical application of the obtained results is seen in the possibility of developing methodological recommendations for teachers planning to teach schoolchildren speech strategies in English lessons, as well as using activity-based tasks developed by the author.
