Abstract:

"Pragmatics and its Applications to TESOL and SLA" offers an in-depth
description of key areas of linguistic pragmatics and a review of how those
topics can be applied to pedagogy in the fields of second language acquisition
(SLA) and teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). This book
is an excellent resource for students and professionals who have an interest
in teaching pragmatics (speech acts, the cooperative principle, deixis,
politeness theory, and more) in second language contexts.

This book introduces technical terminology and concepts—including the
fundamentals of semantics and semiotics—in simple language, and it provides
illuminating examples, making it an excellent choice for readers with an
elementary linguistics background who wish to further their knowledge of
pragmatics. It also covers more advanced pragmatics topics, including stance,
indexicality, and pragmatic appropriateness. Key features include:

•A comprehensive introduction to pragmatics, covering meaning, speech acts,
the cooperation principle, politeness, metapragmatics, and more

•A unique orientation toward practical application in second language
acquisition studies and English-language instruction

•Two-part chapters clearly separating theoretical introductions from concrete,
real-world applications of the theory

•Thorough coverage that is accessible to both students and professionals
currently teaching English to speakers of other languages, including sample
lesson plans

•Practical chapters on the interface between pragmatics and teaching, and on
research design

"Pragmatics and its Applications to TESOL and SLA" is a comprehensive and
coherent introduction, perfect for students, researchers, and scholars of
pragmatics, second language acquisition, language teaching, and intercultural
communication. It is also an excellent resource for professionals in the field
of English-language education.
