Abstract:

This book explores the nature and causes of misunderstandings in ELF
interactions. It is based on a corpus of conversations between English
speakers from south and east Asia that helps us investigate what causes
misunderstandings, particularly the pronunciation, grammar, word choice, and
discourse. The book also considers how such misunderstandings may be signalled
and repaired. Finally, it discusses the implications for teaching English
around the world and offers guidance to teachers in enabling their students to
become highly intelligible.
