Abstract
The paper embraces a range of issues how to enhance oral discourse while teaching foreign languages to students majoring in linguistics. The provided analysis is based upon contemporary approaches related to oral discourse theories and methods developed. This research deals with the concept of teaching grammar to develop powerful students’ oral discourse and the ways of its efficient enhancement across all areas. It is often argued that incorrect grammar in oral speech could hinder the intended meaning, make powerful words less influential and vague, and sometimes completely distort the image of the speaker. The work discusses various reasons how correct grammar may become an indispensable tool for favorable outcomes and why correct grammar patterns are able to help to achieve reciprocity in various types of discourse by enhancing cohesion and coherence. It focuses on grammatical competence that is considered as a part of soft skills development since it is essential to provide assurance of leading abilityand help to develop a habit of logical and clear thinking. In should be noted that successful teaching grammar requires taking into consideration cultural values and culture-specific communicative behavior of the representatives of the corresponding linguoculture. Teaching grammar in cross-cultural context may help to avoid the hidden traps of intercultural communication. The conducted research explores the works of contemporary scholars in the fields of grammar, oral discourse, intercultural communication and critical thinking. The valuable strategies and techniques to strengthen and master students’ public speaking skills have been identified and analyzed.
