Abstract

The field of English as a foreign language (EFL) strives to promote students' proficiency by equipping them with proper grammatical and lexical skills. However, EFL textbooks often neglect the teaching of pragmatics which can lead to cross-cultural communication failures for EFL learners. EFL learners often struggle with traditional language teaching approaches that prioritize grammatical development over pragmatic skills. This paper aims to address this gap by focusing on promoting the use of politeness strategies among EFL learners in cross-cultural communication, particularly in email correspondences with college professors. The proposed teaching activities are based on the Linguistic Theory of Politeness and the 3Ds framework within the context of the Communicative Repertoire Approach. This paper aims to assist advanced EFL learners in effectively employing politeness strategies when writing email requests to college professors, by offering practical pedagogical applications that enhance EFL learners' ability to express their communicative intentions clearly and avoid any potential misunderstanding or misinterpretation by their college professors.
礼貌策略在高级英语课堂教学中的应用研究
英语作为外语(EFL)的领域努力提高学生的熟练程度,通过装备他们适当的语法和词汇技能。然而,英语教材往往忽视语用学的教学,导致学习者跨文化交际的失败。传统的语言教学方法将语法发展置于语用技能之上,这让英语学习者常常感到困惑。本文旨在通过促进英语学习者在跨文化交际中,特别是在与大学教授的电子邮件通信中使用礼貌策略来解决这一差距。建议的教学活动是基于礼貌语言学理论和交际曲目方法背景下的3Ds框架。本文旨在通过提供实用的教学应用,帮助高级英语学习者在给大学教授写电子邮件请求时有效地使用礼貌策略,从而提高学习者清晰表达交际意图的能力,避免大学教授可能产生的误解或误读。
