CAPTATIO BENEVOLENTIAE, ETHOS AND PATHOS IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Summary/Abstract: As didactics is a field closely related to rhetoric, many rules of the art of speaking are applicable in both didactics and glottodidactics. This paper explores the possibility of applying rhetorical rules relating to captatio benevolentiae, as well as ethos and pathos in didactic prac- tice. Such techniques as self-advertising, arousing interest, making students aware of the ben- efits of the lesson, using anecdotes and humour can be applied with success in both rhetorical and didactic practice. It is likewise possible to influence the audience, as well as the students by means of methods included in the rules of ethos and pathos, which leads to gaining kindness by positive self-presentation and arousing emotions.
