The ability to use language in a socially appropriate manner is critical, as lack of it may lead to cross-cultural miscommunication or cultural stereotyping. This book describes second language learners? development of pragmatic competence. It proposes an original theoretical framework combining a pragmatics and psycholinguistics approach, and uses a variety of research instruments, both quantitative and qualitative, to describe pragmatic development over one year. Situated in a bilingual university in Japan, the study reveals patterns of change across different pragmatic abilities among Japanese learners of English. The book offers implications for SLA theories, the teaching and assessment of pragmatic competence, and intercultural communication. 410 0$aSecond language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;$v62. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zJapan 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aCommunicative competence 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aCommunicative competence. 676 $a428.0071/052 700 $aTaguchi$b Naoko$f1967-$0893754 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457489703321 996 $aContext, individual differences and pragmatic competence$92459615 997 $aUNINA
