Teaching and Learning Second Language Pragmatics for Intercultural Understanding
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
2 189 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This collection argues for the need to promote intercultural understanding as a clear goal for teaching and learning pragmatics in second and foreign language education.The volume sees the learning of pragmatics as a challenging yet enriching process whereby the individual expands their capacity for understanding how meaning making processes influence social relationships and how assumptions about social relationships shape the interpretation and use of language in context. This locates pragmatics within a humanistically oriented conception of learning where success is defined relative to the enrichment of human understanding and appreciation of difference. The book argues that intercultural understanding is not an “add on” to language learning but central to the learner’s ability to understand and construct meaning with individuals from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Chapters analyse teachers’ and learners’ ways of making sense of pragmatics, how their assumptions about social relationships impact their perceptions of language use, and how reflection on pragmatic judgments opens up possibilities for developing intercultural understanding.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in intercultural communication, language education, and applied linguistics.

Transformation, Embodiment, and Wellbeing in Foreign Language Pedagogy
Enacting Deep Learning
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 240 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume introduces pedagogical approaches and empirical studies that emphasize deeper, embodied engagement with language, the transformative potential of the language learning experience, and the importance of learner and teacher well-being. A deep learning orientation sees foreign language learning not as a psychologically neutral process of internalising linguistic rules but as an embodied process that is intimately tied to learners’ experience of self, including emotion, body states, metaphoric understanding, aesthetic sensibilities, and moral intuitions. This volume challenges language teachers and teacher trainers to move beyond instrumentalist views of language learning, to recognise the deeply impactful nature of the language learning experience, and to consider how language pedagogy can contribute to the development of the learner as a whole person.Chapters in this volume consider the enactment of deep learning from diverse theoretical perspectives, including positive psychology, embodied cognition, cognitive linguistics, motivational theory, literary theory, and moral psychology. The volume provides language teachers, teacher trainers and applied linguists with concrete insights into the multidisciplinary foundations of conceptualizing, planning, and implementing deep learning in language classrooms.

Negotiating Intercultural Relations
Insights from Linguistics, Psychology, and Intercultural Education
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The goal of fostering positive intercultural relations has taken on increased importance in a wide range of societal, educational, and business contexts. This has created growing demand for educational provision that raises awareness of the role of language, culture, and psychological dynamics in processes of communication and rapport management. This volume, inspired by Helen Spencer-Oatey’s multidisciplinary approach to intercultural research, provides insights into the dynamic and negotiated nature of intercultural relations, informed by current theory and research in linguistics, psychology, and intercultural education. Written by an international group of prominent intercultural researchers, chapters demonstrate that intercultural interaction is highly dependent on the contextual expectations that individuals bring to communication, the social identities that are perceived to be relevant, and how individuals position themselves and others as cultural beings. They show how cultural norms and social identities are negotiated in the micro context of interpersonal interaction and in the macro sociocultural context. The volume provides intercultural researchers and educators with multidisciplinary insights into how intercultural relationships are established, maintained, and threatened.

Del 33 - Languages for Intercultural Communication and Education
Developing Intercultural Perspectives on Language Use
Exploring Pragmatics and Culture in Foreign Language Learning
Häftad, Engelska, 2017

Skickas
Many language teachers recognise the importance of integrating intercultural learning into language learning, but how this can be best achieved is not always apparent. This is particularly the case in foreign language learning contexts where teachers are working with a prescribed textbook and opportunities to use the language outside the classroom are limited. This book argues that teachers can work creatively with conventional resources and utilise classroom experiences in order to help learners interpret aspects of communication in insightful ways and develop awareness of the influence of cultural assumptions and values on language use. The book provides extensive analysis of a range of classroom interactions to demonstrate how teachers and learners can work together to construct opportunities for intercultural learning through reflection on pragmatics.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited book aims to shed light on how language teachers working in diverse international contexts incorporate intercultural learning into English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing in particular on how teachers navigate the tension between theoretical/ideological concerns in their national context and the realities of their language classrooms. It foregrounds the ways that teachers make sense of intercultural concepts and exercise agency to create contextually appropriate innovations. It also addresses the role of intercultural learning in English language teacher education, highlighting critical issues and innovative approaches to empowering teachers in different countries. It will be of interest to pre-service and in-service language teachers, teacher trainers, advanced students (Master’s and PhD), and researchers in the field of (English) language education and intercultural education.
