The language barrier is a familiar term, but what exactly is the
humor barrier? Humor is a universal phenomenon, but the cultural
variance in how humor is used can prove to be a major obstacle for
English language learners hoping to communicate effectively in
cross-cultural contexts. While a growing number of researchers have
explored the importance of helping language learners better
understand the humor of the target culture, in Bridging the Humor
Barrier: Humor Competency Training in English Language Teaching,
editors John Rucynski Jr. and Caleb Prichard bring together
language teachers and researchers from a range of cultural and
teaching contexts to tackle how to actually overcome the humor
barrier. This book empirically examines humor competency training
and presents related research bearing implications for humor
training. Contributors address a wide range of genres of humor,
providing fresh insights into helping language learners deepen
their understanding and appreciation of the humor of the
English-speaking world, including jokes, sarcasm, and satire. This
book is an excellent resource for English language teachers looking
to help their learners avoid the pitfalls and reap the benefits of
humor in the target language.
