Abstract:

This book reports on a longitudinal study of the acquisition of pragmatic
markers in written discourse in a third language (English) by secondary
students living in the bilingual (Spanish and Catalan) Valencian Community in
Spain. It examines pragmatic transfer, specifically positive transfer, in
multilingual students from a holistic perspective, taking into account their
linguistic repertoire and using ecologically valid classroom writing tasks in
a longitudinal study. It tackles the issue of task-based language teaching
from a multilingual perspective by presenting a study which takes place in
natural classroom contexts where real classroom tasks are used to explore the
interaction between languages in multilinguals. The book combines a focus on
multilingual language development and pragmatics and discusses the resources
multilingual learners take to the classroom.
