Task-Based Approaches to Teaching and Assessing Pragmatics
Edited by Naoko Taguchi and YouJin Kim
This volume is the first book-length attempt to bring together the fields of task-based language teaching (TBLT) and second language pragmatics by exploring how the teaching and assessment of pragmatics can be integrated into TBLT. The TBLT-pragmatics connection is illustrated in a variety of… read more[Task-Based Language Teaching, 10] 2018. x, 312 pp.

2022 Commentary Second language pragmatic development in study abroad contexts, Sánchez-Hernández, Ariadna (ed.), pp. 176–180 | Commentary
Ariadna Sánchez-Hernández presents five articles that showcase current trends of study abroad research in second language (L2) pragmatics. The study abroad context has attracted a large number of empirical investigations in L2 pragmatics (for a review, see Pérez Vidal & Shively, 2019). The… read more
2022 Chapter 7. Pragmatics: Assessing learning outcomes in instructional studies Instructed Second Language Acquisition Research Methods, Gurzynski-Weiss, Laura and YouJin Kim (eds.), pp. 149–180 | Chapter
The field of instructed SLA (ISLA) has grown rapidly in recent years to examine how systematic manipulations of instructional conditions can lead to the development of second language (L2) knowledge and use (Loewen & Sato, 2017). Following this trend, L2 pragmatics researchers have implemented… read more

2021 The interplay of proficiency and study abroad experience on the prosody of L2 speech acts Journal of Second Language Pronunciation 7:3, pp. 343–369 | Article
Adopting Brazil’s (1997) prosodic framework, this study examined whether proficiency and study abroad experience impact second language (L2) English learners’ spoken production of speech acts. Twenty-four native English speakers and 64 Japanese learners of L2 English participated in the study.… read more
2021 Social contact and speech act strategies in a Chinese study abroad context Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education 6:1, pp. 3–31 | Article
This study examined the relationship between reported amounts of social contact and speech act strategies among 70 learners of Chinese enrolled in a study abroad program in Beijing. The participants completed a computer-delivered spoken discourse completion task (spoken DCT) eliciting three… read more
2020 Proficiency effects on L2 Arabic refusals: Appropriateness, linguistic strategies and multidialectal practices Applied Pragmatics 2:1, pp. 26–53 | Article
This study examined the relationship between L2 proficiency and (1) appropriateness of refusals, (2) use of refusal strategies, and (3) multidialectal practices in performing refusals in Arabic. Using a spoken discourse completion task (spoken DCT), data were collected from 45 learners of Arabic… read more
2018 Chapter 4. Task complexity effects on interaction during a collaborative persuasive writing task: A conversation analytic perspective Task-Based Approaches to Teaching and Assessing Pragmatics, Taguchi, Naoko and YouJin Kim (eds.), pp. 83–109 | Chapter
This study examined whether task complexity (Robinson, 2011a, b), induced through reasoning demands, affects L2 learners’ interaction patterns during a collaborative writing task that involved the pragmatic act of persuasion. We analyzed interaction of two pairs of students when they co-constructed… read more
