This publication presents research results and instructional innovations
pertaining to teaching and learning the pragmatics of Chinese (Mandarin),
Japanese, and Korean as foreign languages.  Topics covered include the
development of pragmatic competence by children and college-age students
in foreign and second language settings, pragmatics-focused instruction on
the mixed use of speech styles in JFL and KFL classrooms, as well as the
explicit instruction of requests and of telling stories of personal
experience to lower level JFL learners; the use of "aizuchi" by
intermediate and advanced JFL learners in classroom and office hour
settings; cross-linguistic comparisons of the speech act of apology and of
leave-taking practices designed to inform CFL instruction for
English-speaking learners; and designing pragmatics-focused CFL
instructional activities for business professionals in a China-focused MBA
program.  The articles in the volume include:
