Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the structure and linguistic features of professionally oriented opinion-sharing dialogue as a core component of English for Specific Purposes training for future power engineers. The relevance of the study is driven by the demands of the globalised engineering and energy sector, where power engineers must effectively interact in international teams. The article argues that students in power engineering specialities often experience heightened communicative anxiety in foreign-language interactions due to the significant implications of technical errors. Therefore, professionally oriented opinion-sharing dialogue is identified as the most psychologically comfortable and professionally relevant mode of interaction for third-year students aiming to achieve the B2 proficiency level according to the CEFR requirements. The study details the characteristics of the dialogue in question, explaining its implementation in both dialogue and trilogue formats, and outlines the essential and additional knowledge, skills, and abilities required for successful interaction in the form of professionally oriented opinion-sharing dialogue. Based on the cascade of communication model in a professional environment and the principles of dialogic teaching, psychological tasks, structural components, and typical situations for engaging in a professionally oriented opinion-sharing dialogue in the power engineering field are systematised. The communicative intentions of power engineers are categorised into three main dialogue types: cooperative, coordinating, and contradictory. Furthermore, the article highlights the specific linguistic features necessary to fulfil these intentions, including the use of ellipsis, conversational markers, 19 categories of professional clichés, and various mitigation strategies. The article concludes that mastering these structural and linguistic elements is crucial for effective professional communication and serves as a foundation for further training using authentic video materials in English.
