Abstract

This study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of ELF communication strategy instruction for university students’ communicative competence. Conceptual studies on ELF-informed pedagogy stress the importance of teaching strategies, which promote mutual understanding and positive relationships, but few empirical pedagogical studies exist. This gap seriously hinders efforts to develop more inclusive English language and intercultural communication teaching practices that meet real-world communication needs. In response, this pilot study developed and tested the effectiveness of instructional materials and assessment instruments for teaching ELF communication strategies. These materials were pilot tested with 26 L1 and LX English speaking participants. The two assessments resulted in statistically significant improvements from pre- to posttest with small effect sizes. Participant opinion survey responses were overwhelmingly positive. Based on these encouraging preliminary results, follow-up pedagogical studies should expand on this pilot study to yield a more comprehensive understanding of ELF communication strategy instruction.

ELF 沟通策略：教学干预试点研究

本研究调查了针对大学生交际能力的 ELF 交际策略教学的可行性和有效性。有关以英语语言教学法为基础的教学法的概念性研究强调了促进相互理解和积极关系的教学策略的重要性，但很少有实证性教学研究。这一空白严重阻碍了开发更具包容性的英语语言和跨文化交际教学实践以满足现实世界交际需求的努力。为此，本试点研究开发并测试了英语语言交际策略教学材料和评估工具的有效性。这些教材在 26 名讲 L1 和 LX 英语的参与者中进行了试点测试。两项评估结果表明，从测试前到测试后，学员们的成绩有了明显的提高，但影响程度较小。参与者的意见调查反馈也非常积极。基于这些令人鼓舞的初步结果，后续的教学研究应在这项试点研究的基础上进行扩展，以便更全面地了解英语语言沟通策略教学。
