In the context of distance learning, where traditional non-verbal tools of pedagogical influence are substantially restricted, sustaining learners\u2019 academic motivation becomes the teacher\u2019s key pragmatic task. The study analyses specific linguistic means and discursive strategies employed by native English-speaking educators at all stages of the online lesson \u2014 the organizational stage, the knowledge introduction stage, and the closing stage \u2014 drawing on transcripts of open online lessons from the Smrt English platform. The principal speech tactics of motivational influence are identified and systematized: the solidarity-and-joint-action strategy, the tactic of praise and anticipatory approval, appeals to the concepts of simplicity and difficulty, normalization of errors as a pedagogical technique, use of gaming achievement metaphors, and personalization of lesson content. Special attention is devoted to the role of different speech act types \u2014 expressives, directives, commissives, and representatives \u2014 in realizing the motivating function of discourse. It is established that the motivational component permeates all levels and stages of the online English teacher\u2019s professional discourse, functioning not as a facultative but as a structuring element of this type of institutional communication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> professional discourse; educational discourse; motivation; online learning; English language teacher; discursive strategies; speech acts; motivating communication; learner engagement; distance education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abieva Natavan Ragimovna Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia E-mail: ragim666@yandex.ru ORCID: https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5990-0351 RSCI: https:\/\/elibrary.ru\/author_profile.asp?id=837818 Abstract.
