This timely work represents a significant contribution to the literature, as it integrates research on pragmatics in foreign language learning, teaching and testing. This volume is highly recommended for students and researchers in applied linguistics as well as language teachers and educators. -- Wei Ren, University of Bristol * Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 31:4, 2009 * This volume is a timely contribution to ILP research. It provides an overview of recent research in the field of ILP. It takes into consideration the wide variety of approaches currently being used in classroom-based ILP research. The employment of both observational, as well as more experimental methods provides a holistic picture of the current state of research in ILP. -- Iris Levitis, University of California, Davis * Linguist List 20.1944 * Adopting a range of theoretical perspectives and focusing on a variety of learning contexts and approaches to learning, this timely collection of articles represents a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on the teaching of pragmatics in the foreign language context. It is essential reading for interlanguage pragmaticists. -- Dr. Anne Barron, Institut fur Anglistik, Amerikanistik und Keltologie, Universitat Bonn, Germany. This book is a rich source of knowledge and inspiration for beginner and more advanced researchers, contributes to the development of the multilingual field of interlanguage pragmatics and provides valuable pedagogical implications for language teachers in the foreign language classroom. -- Anna Nizegorodcew, Professor in Applied Linguistics, English Department, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland

Reseña del editor

The book focuses on investigating pragmatic learning, teaching and testing in foreign language contexts. The volume brings together research that investigates these three areas in different formal language learning settings. The number and variety of languages involved both as the first language (e.g. English, Finnish, Iranian, Spanish, Japanese) as well as the target foreign language (e.g. English, French, German, Indonesian, Korean, Spanish) makes the volume specially attractive for language educators in different sociocultural foreign language contexts. Additionally, the different approaches adopted by the researchers participating in this volume, such as information processing, sociocultural, language socialization, computer-mediated or conversation analysis should be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in the area of second language acquisition.
