El. knyga: L2 Pragmatics in Action: Teachers, learners and the teaching-learning interaction process

"This is the first edited volume dedicated to both teachers and learners of second/foreign language (L2) pragmatics. Comprised of a collection of studies that address the need to consider teacher background and practices as well as the learner individualdifferences to design appropriate pedagogical approaches that bring them together in action in the process of teaching/learning L2 pragmatics. Written by an international team of experts, the volume examines the most current topics on instructional pragmatics in a variety of language contexts, including Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United States, and Vietnam. This global perspective represents a key contribution in the increasingly multilingual and multicultural society. Taken together, the findings presented have diverse research and pedagogical implications, and provide new directions to explore L2 pragmatic competence. This innovative book will be a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students, as well as language teachers and course developers"--
