In the present paper the author proposes a reconsideration of the functions of language related to the speaker's attitude towards the truth value of the sentences. The discourse behaviour is manifest in the dissimulating function: the speaker transmits a state of facts different from the real one to the uninformed hearer.When used in the didactic communication, this function involves every part of the teaching and learning process, in various degrees. First, there is a description of the way that the dissimulation is involved in certain constituent parts of the curriculum (strategies, learning contents) available for different types of education: intellectual, vocational, professional. The degree to which the dissimulation marks the active – passive relation in the series of methods is also described.Knowledge about these aspects is useful for the improvement of the educational language and for making the educational process more efficient.
