The processs of teaching is affected by teaching strategies and tactics - the two basic concepts which are today among the most frequent linguodidactic terms. Both concepts have their origins in the military field. Over the time, however, they began to live independently in other disciplines, including psychology, pedagogy and didactics. The term “tactics” is narrower, the term “strategy” is broader. Strategies are seen as hierarchically higher processes such as sequences of negotiations which have a goal to be achieved, often represented as flexible plans appropriate to the situation. The development of teaching strategies depends on theories, on concepts accepted for education and on other contexts and conditions.
