The importance of referring to such a semiotically complicated type of texts in modern linguistics is discussed. The author supports the idea that the methodical discourse, which is part of the institutional one, is dialogic in nature, where the communication of the participants is a crucial thing. The success of communication is ensured by the syncretic relationship of the verbal and non-verbal components of the discourse, which helps the recipient to perceive the text more fully, to decode the meanings implemented by the author. The organization of the English-language methodological discourse is analyzed in terms of the saturation of texts with verbal and non-verbal components of information transfer and their quantitative correlation. Examples from the texts of English-language books on the methodology of teaching English are considered in detail. The purpose of this study was to consider the typology of non-verbal elements in methodological texts and to determine their relationship with the verbal part (the test itself).","PeriodicalId":337132,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Language Education and Research","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114675755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data analysis revealed an obvious pragmatic gap between the process of learning a foreign (English) language by respondents at the school or university stage and the outcome of such learning in terms of their inability to apply gained knowledge and skills to various communicative situations at workplace.

Though methodological literature does not define the exact amount of STT and Teacher Talking Time and the correlation between the two, it is noted that the relation depends to a great degree in the level of a foreign language learning. Thus on the initial level it is quite obvious that TTT accounts for a larger portion of a lesson, including teachers explanations, pronunciation drilling, correction of mistakes, introduction of new words and grammar structures. In a group with A1 students it would be reasonable that a ration between TTT and STT corresponds to 50-50 %. In groups of A2-B2 students the amount of TTT should be about 30% with STT aiming at 70%. In advanced level groups (C1-2) a teacher should strive to the ration of 10% to 90% respectively. In addition, the amount of TTT also depends on a task or assignment and a form of a lesson. \u0000Besides, another important factor, i.e. Student Waiting Time (SWT) should also be taken into consideration, by this we mean, the amount of time a student waits in a group for their turn to give an oral answer. \u0000The paper presents some findings of an experiment which was conducted among 2 groups of 12 students at Samara branch of Moscow City Pedagogical University. The experiment was aimed at distinguishing the correlation between STT and SWT depending on an activity done at a lesson. It was proved that when students were asked to answer one question each their TT accounted for 12 minutes with SWT totaling at 11 minutes. When the students worked in groups of 3 and discussed 4 questions the STT increased up to 36 minutes and STW amounted at 9 minutes. When the students worked in pairs and were asked to discuss 6 question their STT was 36 minutes with SWT only 6 minutes, which showed that this form of work was the optimal. \u0000The increase of STT and reduction of SWT stimulates the students rising their satisfaction from the lesson.","PeriodicalId":337132,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Language Education and Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126527285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
