How, for example, are learners supposed to address strangers, close friends, or people of higher social status in that culture? While acquiring discourse practices can take learners many years, research has shown that the process can be facilitated through explicit instruction.</SPAN></FONT><FONT class=Apple-style-span face=Helvetica size=4><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px"></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
