Abstract:
English is undoubtedly the lingua franca of global communication today, and
plays a major role in the internationalisation of universities, where it is
increasingly being used as the medium of instruction. The use of English as a
Lingua Franca (ELF) in higher education has spread at different speeds
throughout Europe over recent decades, with Nordic and central-western
countries leading the way and the regions of southern Europe lagging behind.
In Italy, English-taught programmes are a rather new and emerging phenomenon
which needs to be empirically investigated to uncover the complex mechanisms
of classroom interaction in this foreign language.
The present volume focuses on one aspect of ELF academic exchanges that is
deemed crucial in the transmission of knowledge in the educational setting,
namely the management of interpersonal relations and the expression of
interpersonal stance in the classroom. To this end, a model has been developed
along the four dimensions of formality, power, social distance and respect,
and has been applied to the analysis of a corpus of ELF lectures recorded in
an Italian university.
The examination of naturally occurring ELF lectures reveals a complex
combination of linguistic strategies that lecturers exploit at the macro-level
of discourse (interpersonal episodes) and at the micro-level of lexis and
morpho-syntax (direct questions, comprehension checks, imperatives, personal
pronouns, and terms of address) to express interpersonal meanings and build
rapport with their students, in response to specific expressive and
communicative requirements brought about by ELF academic interaction.
