This book examines how foreign language speakers establish and
maintain social and transactional relationships in their target
language, and how pedagogic intervention can help learners
implement practices that will allow them to participate and react
in both socially acceptable and individualistically empowering
ways. Arguing that 'doing' foreign-language politeness and culture
does not simply involve the indiscriminate and uncritical adoption
and implementation of target-language patterns and practices, the
author advocates instead for active, judicious and even critical
social action. As such, the book presents a dynamic and vibrant
dimension to target language politeness and cultural practices,
demonstrating that raising learners' critical language awareness in
identifying productive communicative resources and assets can lead
to successful interpersonal and transactional communication.
Building on this notion of a 'positive' pedagogy, Halliday's model
of ideational, interpersonal and textual is utilised as a framework
for exploring how foreign language users can approach target
language politeness in terms of prosocial, interpersonal and
contested politeness, with reference to a study of Mexican speakers
of English as a foreign language. Heightening awareness of foreign
language politeness patterns and practices, as well as presenting
knowledge and resources for overcoming challenges and accentuating
benefits of a nuanced learning scheme for politeness in foreign
language, this book will appeal to language educators, researchers
and bilingual speakers. It will also benefit those working across
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, TESOL, cultural studies.
