Abstract:

This book presents a pragmatic perspective on the development of
intercultural communicative competence and intercultural understanding
by language learners in the foreign language classroom and in study
abroad contexts. Using data from role-play interactions, intercultural
episodes and student reflections, including both US learners of
Spanish and multilingual learners of other languages, the book
examines how a focus on pragmatics and metapragmatic awareness aids
the development of intercultural competence. It also addresses current
topics such as intercultural impoliteness, the negotiation of and
reflection on speech acts at the discourse level, pragmatic
competence, agency and pragmatic resistance. The book concludes with a
reflection on what it means to be an intercultural speaker along with
suggestions for both teaching and assessment.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
