Interlanguage Pragmatics and Language Teaching

Interlanguage Pragmatics and Language Teaching provides an overwies of the main topics in interlanguage pragmatics, including the historical development of the field, the construct of pragmatic competence, theorises accounting for pragmatic development, and the way pragmatic competence can be taught and tested. Each chapter is clearly structured and written in a very accessible style to help a wide range of readership at the graduate level understand core topics in pragmatics. Moreover, the book aims to raise EFL teachers awareness and increase their knowledge of how to close the gap between interlanguage pragmatics and language classrooms. The book can function as a standard text for students studying discourse analysis and pragmatics in an Applied Linguistics or TEFL program.
