Abstract

The present article explores the integration of expressive speech acts in the communicative learning process of a foreign language, primarily English. Speech acts play a significant pragmatic role in communication, and understanding how to perform them appropriately according to the context is essential. However, many general education textbooks for foreign languages lack activities that help learners perceive and use speech acts effectively, which hinders the development of their communicative skills. The paper specifically focuses on expressive speech acts, which bridge the speaker's emotions and the communicative intent. We view emotional-attitudinal expressions as distinct linguistic units for teaching expressive speech acts, for they serve as a tool for infusing an emotional tone into speech and elucidating the speaker's thoughts and feelings. To address this, we provide a brief analysis of communicative language competence and its components, discuss various types of speech acts, and highlight the importance of emotional-attitudinal expressions in both communication and foreign language learning. The article concludes with a set of exercises designed to enhance learners' understanding of speech acts and emotional-attitudinal expressions, guiding them towards effective use in foreign language communication.
