Exploring the Connections Between EFL Learners’ Motivation, Engagement and Pragmatic Development in Self-Access Web-Based Instruction
The present study investigates the relationship between initial learner motivation, engagement, and pragmatic development within a self-access web-based instructional environment. Focused on the development of awareness and production of English email requests to faculty, the study involved 65 first-year English Studies students at a Spanish public university. Motivation was assessed qualitatively through open-ended responses which were classifie…
The Effects of Self-Access Web-Based Pragmatic Instruction and L2 Proficiency on EFL Students’ Email Request Production and Confidence
The present study pursued three objectives: (i) to examine whether self-access web-based instruction could significantly improve EFL students’ ability to formulate pragmatically appropriate email requests; (ii) to determine whether L2 proficiency influenced students’ pragmatic performance and their gains following instruction; and (iii) to explore changes in learners’ confidence when evaluating the appropriateness of their own email requests. Six…
The interface between proficiency and pragmatics
This study investigates the interface between second language pragmatics and proficiency by focusing on pragmatic awareness of compliment responses (CRs). The participants were Spanish learners of English as a foreign language. Their perceptive pragmatic knowledge was tested via a pragmatic awareness video elicitation task where they had to rate the appropriateness of 15 CRs from 1 (inappropriate) to 6 (very appropriate). Learners were divided in…
Fostering learners’ (meta)pragmatic awareness through film analysis
Film-based dialogues have been praised in the current work on pragmatics as a potentially useful source that can enhance learners’ (meta)pragmatic awareness of the pragmatic phenomena in actual communicative events. Following this view, this paper first outlines the concept of (meta)pragmatic awareness and explains, drawing on McConachy and Spencer-Oatey (2020), the different theoretical perspectives examining the role that awareness plays in dev…
Teaching speech acts in a second language
Speech acts are one of the most widely examined pragmatic features that second and foreign language (L2/FL) learners need to master in order to commu-nicate appropriately in the target language. Without a proper knowledge of how to use and understand a particular speech act that is appropriate to the contextual andcultural parameters of a specific situation, L2/FL learners may run the risk of being perceived as rude and/or impolite. Consequently,…
