In this chapter, the author aims to explain the theoretical basis of this book. In doing so, there is a need to look at several key areas. He starts by defining conversation strategies and showing how they differ from and are related to more generalised communication strategies. Next, he defines communicative competence (Hymes, 1972) and shows why this theory should still provide an important basis for developing the teaching of conversation within a communicative teaching framework, whichever precise form that takes. Following this, he explores why we might teach conversation strategies as a means of helping to develop communicative competence. Finally, he gives one brief example of how this might look in the classroom.

Important Basis

The solidification shrinkage of liquid steel has an important impact on thermal deformation behavior of high-temperature thin shell. Solidification shrinkage of liquid steel is an important basis for structure and shap optimization of the mould. In this paper, a direct coupled model was built on heat transfer in solidification and stress-strain by using the ANSYS software. And solidification shrinkage of liquid steel with the interior temperature and stress distribution were studied in the process of steel solidification, and it provided a theoretical basis for the further optimization of shape of the thin slab FTSC mould. This study was based on analysis of temperature and stress, deriving calculation of solidification shrinkage of steel’s phase change on macro-state by calculating the variation discipline of the distance between nodes.

Conversation Class

To be able to conduct smooth communication has been the focus of teaching and learning L2. Since the late 1970s, developing language learners’ communicative competence has become the center of L2 teaching. This paper is part of a study investigating how elementary-level English learners at an English course in Surakarta-Indonesia conduct English conversations. It particularly observes how they use communication strategies. The data was obtained through recording the conversations between instructors and the learners in teaching and learning activities. This study revealed that the learners frequently used stalling or time gaining when communicating their ideas or opinions. Assertive was the dominant speech act used by the learners, whereas expressive was the least. This could be because during the learning process, the learners were the ones who answered questions and expressed ideas in response to the instructors’ questions.

The Mean

The present study aims to investigate the use of Polish and Czech as a lingua receptiva (LaRa) in comparison with English as a lingua franca (ELF) between Polish and Czech students when making semi-spontaneous dialogues. With this aim in mind, the notion of intelligibility together with communication strategies (CSs) and intercultural communicative competence (ICC) are discussed. The study is inspired by Bulatović’s et al. (2019) who investigated the effectiveness of LaRa and ELF between Croatians and Slovenes. The study investigated listening skills and showed that the mean of intelligibility was high irrespective of the mode. The study in question aims to expand prior research with reference to spoken interactions between Polish and Czech speakers. In particular, it examines the role of communication strategies and intercultural communicative competence in achieving intelligibility in two multilingual modes. The results of the study show that the level of intelligibility is high irrespective of the mode. In LaRa and ELF sessions intelligibility and negotiation strategies are determined by careful language choices, certain communication strategies, and intercultural communicative competence (intercultural attitude towards the partner and modes of communication).

The Ideal

The article deals with the approach to the creation of a computer program for the development of adolescents’ communicative competence — the so-called «virtual interlocutor», which is the Other in terms of the dialogism of M.M. Bakhtin, and the intermediator, which mediates the introduction of a teenager to what may be called the ideal form of communicative culture in terms of cultural-historical psychology. The content of the toolkit is composed of communicative tasks and feedback, which is generated based on the principles of the co-experiencing psychotherapy developed by F.E. Vasilyuk. It’s concluded that the approach is relevant and promising considering the increasing role of Internet resources in the life of modern adolescents. The developed resource will contribute to the solution of problems related to the development of communication, the leading activity in adolescence, the success of which is caused primarily by the level of communicative competence development.

The types of competencies began to increase in the scientific literature with the development of the theory and practice of competence-based approach in higher education. The problem of the development of key competences has arisen which are applied universally in a variety of situations. Theoretical foundations of key competencies and their features in developing the communicative competence of students in a foreign language in their professional domains are analyzed in the article. The modern methodology of teaching a foreign language is based on the following principles of the competence-based approach to teaching oral speech which serve as the theoretical basis for the development of integrative modules for teaching a foreign language.

The Impact

This research aims to investigate Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in English for Palestine (EFP) textbooks A and B for grade seven. It adopts Byram's (1997) model as a theoretical framework for analyzing the content of grade seven textbooks. It also explores the categories and levels of cultural content to develop intercultural communicative teaching in English teaching. Further, it pinpoints different strategies to develop and promote ICC in teaching. In this qualitative research, the researcher uses content analysis. The findings show that the analysis of the Palestinian English textbooks for grade seven A and B develops ICC to a great extent. Moreover, many interactive strategies and pedagogical methods are used in these textbooks to develop ICC such as role play, poems, reports, emails, and conversations. Based on the research findings, English for Palestine textbooks for grade seven increase the awareness towards the Palestinian culture and deepen students' recognition of their identity, language and religion. It is concluded that these textbooks successfully enhance students' critical awareness and understanding of other cultures besides having a sense of pride of their own culture. In light of the research findings, the researcher recommends conducting empirical researches to measure the impact of ICC on students' language proficiency form the stakes holders' perceptions in the field of English language teaching.

The relentless wave of using mobile device in Malaysia, as a tool for teaching and learning in educational setting is incontestable. Multitudinous tertiary institutions have adapted this technology in their academic system; due to its approach which aids synchronous and asynchronous learning towards achieving educational outcomes. In spite of the rapid expansion medium employed in mobile learning [mLearning], students’ communicative competence in academic context is a major concern, especially when they are communicating in their native languages or being a bilingual user of the English language. Hence, this paper addresses the communication strategies in mLearning among tertiary students based on a quantitative research design conducted at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. The data were gathered from 125 students using a questionnaire which measured the learners’ frequency of the communication strategies used. Findings showed that the communication in mobile indicated that students employed varying degrees of communication strategies in mLearning. The results reflected an overview of students’ interaction in mLearning setting as it could be used to benefit academicians in assisting students with their communicative competence not only in- yet also out- of the mLearning context. Thus, several implications were further discussed in this study.
