Beskrivning

This book deals with intercultural pragmatics and how both nonnative teachers (NNTs) and native teachers (NTs) may enhance their classroom instruction regarding target language (TL) pragmatics. It focuses primarily on the experiences of instructors as they teach their learners about the pragmatics of the TL, both in second and foreign language learning settings. It makes clear that there are aspects of teaching pragmatics where it may help to be an NT and other areas where it may help to be an NNT and proposes creative ideas that both sets of teachers may draw on to compensate for gaps in their knowledge. Further themes in the book include ideas for motivating students who want to learn about pragmatics, the role of technology in teaching and learning pragmatics, the role of learning strategies, the assessment of pragmatics and ways to research pragmatics. The book will be of interest to teachers, teacher educators and students interested in researching and improving the teaching of pragmatics.

Recensioner i media

This book is a timely addition to the field, helping us move from the native-nonnative distinction to native-nonnative collaboration when teaching pragmatics in a language classroom. A variety of personal experiences and episodes used to illustrate theories, research, and practice make the content of pragmatics fully accessible to teachers and students. This book is the ideal companion for practitioners and researchers who wish to gain a thorough understanding of issues related to pragmatics learning in a global context.
