The language barrier is a familiar term, but what exactly is the
humor barrier? Humor is a universal phenomenon, but the ways in
which humor is used vary greatly from culture to culture. These
differences 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 that has 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.
