Pragmatics in Language Teaching

Rose, Kenneth R.

Format: Paperback
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521008587

Edited by Kenneth R. Rose, this volume from Cambridge University Press examines how learners acquire the social use of language in second and foreign language classrooms. Alongside state-of-the-art survey chapters, it presents empirical research on three areas: incidental acquisition of pragmatics in instructed settings, the effects of teaching pragmatics, and the assessment of pragmatic ability. The studies range from speech acts and discourse markers to conversational routines and address terms, drawing on a variety of target languages and contexts in the United States, Asia, and Europe. It will interest language teachers, applied linguists, and researchers in second language acquisition.
