Investigating Pragmatics in Foreign Language Learning Teaching and Testing

<p>The book focuses on investigating pragmatic learning teaching and testing in foreign language contexts. The volume brings together research that investigates these three areas in different formal language learning settings. The number and variety of languages involved both as the first language (e.g. English Finnish Iranian Spanish Japanese) as well as the target foreign language (e.g. English French German Indonesian Korean Spanish) makes the volume specially attractive for language educators in different sociocultural foreign language contexts. Additionally the different approaches adopted by the researchers participating in this volume such as information processing sociocultural language socialization computer-mediated or conversation analysis should be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in the area of second language acquisition.</p>
