Teaching Pragmatics and Instructed Second Language Learning : Study Abroad and Technology-Enhanced Teaching Paperback / softback
by Dr Nicola (University of Central Lancashire, UK) Halenko
Part of the Advances in Instructed Second Language Acquisition Research series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores second language pragmatic development with a specific focus on two areas: classroom-based pragmatic instruction in the study abroad context, and using technology for developing and assessing pragmatic competence.
Teaching Pragmatics and Instructed Second Language Learning directly compares the effects of technology platforms and traditional paper-based tasks within the second language environment for developing pragmatic competence.
These analyses are based on empirical research of how undergraduate Chinese learners of English receive explicit instruction in classrooms using different training materials.
The book makes an original and innovative contribution to collecting oral speech act data in the form of computer-animated production tasks (CAPT) designed to enhance learner engagement and performance.
Using this tool, it explores the beneficial role of technology in teaching and learning, offering practitioners and researchers practical ways to maximise second language pragmatic development in the classroom.
