  We suggest a mechanism for enhancing magnetic activity in tidally interacting
binaries. We suppose that the deviation of the primary star from spherical
symmetry due to the tidal influence of the companion leads to stellar pulsation
in its fundamental mode. It is shown that stellar radial pulsation amplifies
torsional Alfv{\'e}n waves in a dipole-like magnetic field, buried in the
interior, according to the recently proposed swing wave-wave interaction
(Zaqarashvili 2001). Then amplified Alfv{\'e}n waves lead to the onset of
large-scale torsional oscillations, and magnetic flux tubes arising towards the
surface owing to magnetic buoyancy diffuse into the atmosphere producing
enhanced chromospheric and coronal emission.
