Abstract:

This volume is not only the first book-length investigation into
adolescents’ use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), it also explores
ELF in an African-European context, which has received little
attention in ELF research so far.

The book examines the interplay between language, culture and identity
in adolescents’ ELF interactions. It combines quantitative and
qualitative approaches to explore strategies secondary school students
employ in a German-Tanzanian student exchange in order to reach their
communicative goals. Introducing and drawing on the TeenELF corpus,
the book investigates the speaker- and situation-specific potential of
repetition and repair, complimenting, laughter and humour as well as
various practices of translanguaging. The study reveals ELF as a
transcultural space, in which different linguacultural influences meet
and merge, while meaning, rapport and identity are interactionally
negotiated.

In the face of an increasing interest in ELF-informed pedagogy, the
present approach investigates the communicative needs and competences
of school students and derives both theoretical as well as classroom
implications from its linguistic findings.
