About this title

Synopsis

Interlanguage Pragmatics (ILP) is a field of growing interest. Focussing on the speech act of requesting, the volume provides information about opportunities for pragmatic learning and how pragmatics can be integrated into instructional foreign language learning contexts. In addition, the research reported here provides methodological insights for those interested in investigating ILP from a second language acquisition perspective. The reader will also encounter some research issues worth examining in relation to pragmatic language learning.
Topics include the use of assessment instruments in measuring learners’ perception and production of different pragmatic issues, the long-term effects of instruction, and the effectiveness of different teaching approaches.
