Abstract

The speech act of requesting is a speech act commonly found and used in daily conversations. It is an intriguing research topic of pragmatics, particularly pragmatics in materials development, which is a sub-topic of language teaching. Earlier studies of pragmatics in language teaching reported that English teachers tend to look down on pragmatic aspects when teaching the language, including being ignorant of sociopragmatic information about language use in English coursebooks. For this reason, this paper discusses the findings of a sociopragmatic analysis in a local English coursebook. A content analysis employing pragmatic and sociopragmatic theoretical frameworks and a pragmatic judgment task by a native speaker of American English was carried out to investigate the sociopragmatic information in the course book. Results indicated that it did not contain an adequate amount of sociopragmatic knowledge indicating sociopragmatic failure. Thus, it implies that the coursebook may not be reliable language input for pragmatic competence improvement.

地方英语教材中请求言语行为的社会语用分析
请求言语行为是日常会话中常见的言语行为。语用学是语用学的一个有趣的研究课题,尤其是材料开发中的语用学,它是语言教学的一个分支。早期关于语用学在语言教学中的研究表明,英语教师在教学过程中往往忽视语用方面,包括忽视英语教材中关于语言使用的社会语用信息。因此,本文讨论了对当地英语教材进行社会语用分析的结果。运用语用学和社会语用学的理论框架进行内容分析,并采用美国英语母语者的语用判断任务对教材中的社会语用信息进行调查。结果表明,它不包含足够的社会实用知识表明社会实用失败。因此,这意味着教材可能不是提高语用能力的可靠语言输入。& lt; strong> & lt; / strong> & lt; / p>
