This paper explores communicative and interactive methods for teaching speech strategies in professional communication. Effective communication requires both language skills and the ability to use strategies appropriately in professional contexts. The study highlights communicative approaches, interactive activities, task-based learning, and authentic materials as key methods for developing strategic competence. Gradual instruction and performance-based assessment help learners apply strategies effectively and build communicative autonomy.
