This collection argues for the need to promote intercultural
understanding as a clear goal for teaching and learning pragmatics
in second and foreign language education. The volume sees the
learning of pragmatics as a challenging yet enriching process
whereby the individual expands their capacity for understanding how
meaning making processes influence social relationships and how
assumptions about social relationships shape the interpretation and
use of language in context. This locates pragmatics within a
humanistically oriented conception of learning where success is
defined relative to the enrichment of human understanding and
appreciation of difference. The book argues that intercultural
understanding is not an "add on" to language learning but central
to the learner's ability to understand and construct meaning with
individuals from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Chapters analyse teachers' and learners' ways of making sense of
pragmatics, how their assumptions about social relationships impact
their perceptions of language use, and how reflection on pragmatic
judgments opens up possibilities for developing intercultural
understanding. This book will be of interest to students and
scholars in intercultural communication, language education, and
applied linguistics.
