讲座摘要:
Pragmatic competence plays a key role in intercultural communication, particularly for students studying in a target community. In this talk I will review the literature of second language (L2) pragmatics, with a focus on longitudinal studies on learners’ L2 pragmatic development in study abroad contexts, and point out methodological weaknesses in this field. Issues about native-speaker norm in L2 pragmatic research are discussed as well. I then present a longitudinal investigation into the effect of study abroad on learners’ L2 productive and receptive pragmatic competences, using Multimedia Elicitation Tasks and Appropriate Judgment Tasks. In addition, the study longitudinally examines learners’ cognitive processes during study abroad employing retrospective verbal reports. In the end, I will discuss methodological implications of this study and offer suggestions for future L2 pragmatic research.
