The development of students’ polylogical speech in English plays a crucial role in
achieving communicative competence at the C1 level. This study explores effective methods and
pedagogical strategies aimed at improving learners’ ability to participate in academic and professional
discussions through polylogues. Emphasis is placed on interactive techniques such as role-playing,
debate, problem-solving tasks, and project-based learning, which foster critical thinking, creativity,
and spontaneous expression. The research also highlights the significance of authentic materials,
digital platforms, and collaborative learning environments in enhancing fluency, accuracy, and
pragmatic appropriateness. Findings suggest that integrating task-based and communicative
approaches contributes to strengthening students’ linguistic and socio-pragmatic skills, ultimately
preparing them for advanced-level communication in diverse contexts.
