   1. Theories of Communication

Communication is an exchange of information, ideas, thoughts (S-S) Communication is regarded from different points of view: informational, communicative-cognitive, lingua-cultural. In Modern Methodology the term “communication” is interpreted as socio-psychological system of interpersonal and social-cultural relations between people which helps them to understand “grammar of life”(Ovchinninov). The functions of Communication are as follows, according to Lomov B. F:

1. communicative- informational

2. communicative-regulatory

3. communicative-affective

M. Holidays (Language as social semiotic) speaks of 7 functions: informational, regulatory, interactive instrumental, evristic, imaginatory, emotional.

Andreeva considers 3 aspects of Communication: communicative, interactive and perceptual which are reviled simultaneously. Verbal communication has characteristics: dynamic, personal, oriented, organized, informative, contactable, and structural. The structural unit of Communication is communicative act, the functional unit- communicative task. Communication happens in situations. Situation is a form of organization of teaching process. By situation we understand a system of conditions; situations may be verbal, nonverbal, problem. The structure of a situation:

1. Exposition

3. Communicative task (intention)
