THEORETICAL AND PROCEDURAL MODELS OF WRITING A BUSINESS LETTER: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT, ENGLISH

Abstract

The article examines a problem of theoretical understanding and practical implementation of business letter writing models in English. The author focuses on the interrelation of synoptic and dynamic components of written speech, as well as on the development of a comprehensive procedural model for creating business letters. Based on the study of Russian and foreign studies, four main components of the theory of written communication have been identified: individually productive, individually procedural, socio-genre and socio-literacy. The article presents a comparative analysis of existing procedural models of writing letters, suggests the author’s system model of communication, and develops guidelines for teaching writing two main types of business letters: cover letters and general business letters. The article summarizes some of the results of studying the process of creating a business letter and outlines the prospects for further research in the field of digital transformation of business correspondence and the development of adaptive learning methods. This research would be of interest to teachers of foreign languages, specialists in the field of business communication, as well as developers of teaching materials on business English.
