Summary/Abstract: The perception of discourse type is a factor in discourse processing and production which brings together our perception of sender/receiver, topic, function and other factors. What is important from pedagogic point of view is that we should, as early as possible, alert students to different discourse types, so that they may classify the interaction they are involved in, and make as productive a use of that classification as we do ourselves. The article represents some observations concerning the usage of frequently used communicative models by foreign students learning Bulgarian and presents examples of computer-based exercises with emphasis on the specifics of the communicative situation.
