It combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore strategies secondary school students employ in a German-Tanzanian student exchange in order to reach their communicative goals. Introducing and drawing on the TeenELF corpus, the book investigates the speaker- and situation-specific potential of repetition and repair, complimenting, laughter and humour as well as various practices of translanguaging. The study reveals ELF as a transcultural space, in which different linguacultural influences meet and merge, while meaning, rapport and identity are interactionally negotiated. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the face of an increasing interest in ELF-informed pedagogy, the present approach investigates the communicative needs and competences of school students and derives both theoretical as well as classroom implications from its linguistic findings. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45866126049431,"sku":"9783112214152","price":1666.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783112214152.webp?v=1768604205","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/english-as-a-lingua-franca-among-adolescents-transcultural-pragmatics-in-a-german-tanzanian-school-setting-9783112214152","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
