Abstract:

Taking a psycholinguistic perspective, this book investigates how
second language (L2) learners’ pragmatic abilities in English can be
measured. It complements and extends earlier work on the testing of
implicit and explicit grammar. The authors present a set of tests they
developed using both well-established methods of measuring pragmatic
knowledge (e.g. a Metapragmatic Knowledge Test and role plays) and
more original tests (e.g. an Irony Test and an Elicited Imitation
Test). They explain the development of the tests and report the
results of their work with native speakers of English and Chinese and
Japanese L2 learners. A confirmatory factor analysis lends support to
the theoretical basis of the tests. The authors also report studies
that explored the use of the tests to investigate L2 linguistic
proficiency, study abroad and formal instruction. In concluding, they
consider the strengths and limitations of the tests and propose some
directions for future research.
