1. On the Structure of Dialogue Viorica Condrat lecturer at Alecu Russo State University APLE Conference Up-to-date Techniques and Strategies in Teaching English April 9 th , 2011
2. WHAT IS DIALOGUE? Dialogue is above all interaction. It implies a communicative occurance between two people, where one incites and the other reacts. It is intentionally structured to arouse a reaction, to get feedback. The power roles can differ: the two participants might have equal speaking powers or one might dominate the other. Yet, it is an intrecate process of communication whose structure is governed by the concrete communicative needs of the interactants whose turns are oriented, as a rule, towards the answer’s direction.
3. Interaction is above all collaboaration. It is based on it. If the participants are not collaborative then their dialogue fails to fulfill its communicative goals, and at least one of the participant will not get the desired feedback.
