Abstract

ABSTRACT In step with advancing globalization, applied linguists are compelled to reconsider established assumptions about language use and learning (Kramsch, 2014). Focusing on English as a lingua franca (ELF), this article illustrates how realities of globalization have challenged our conventional ways of researching and teaching second language (L2) pragmatics. In the context of ELF where English is used as a medium of communication among nonnative speakers as well as between native and nonnative speakers, researchers need to examine pragmatic competence based on how L2 learners can navigate communicative demands by using communication strategies skillfully while negotiating their identities. At the same time, it is tenable for teachers to move away from the sole dependence on idealized native-speaker models of appropriateness, politeness, and formality in their pedagogical practice and instead incorporate a nonessentialist viewpoint into formal instruction. This article discusses these recent trends in researching and teaching pragmatics under the lingua franca framework.

英语语用学：全球化时代的研究与教育学

随着全球化的推进，应用语言学家不得不重新考虑关于语言使用和学习的既定假设(Kramsch, 2014)。本文以英语作为通用语言(ELF)为重点，阐述了全球化的现实如何挑战我们传统的第二语言(L2)语用学研究和教学方式。在ELF的背景下，英语被用作非母语人士之间以及母语人士与非母语人士之间的沟通媒介，研究人员需要基于二语学习者如何在协商他们的身份时巧妙地使用沟通策略来导航沟通需求来检查语用能力。与此同时，教师在教学实践中摆脱对理想的母语人士恰当性、礼貌性和正式性模式的唯一依赖，转而将非本质主义观点纳入正式教学中，这是站得住的。本文讨论了在通用语框架下语用学研究和教学的最新趋势。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
