The premise of this essay is to address the importance of the general development of pragmatic awareness and its instillation in our students in order for them to comprehend pragmatic meaning when they encounter it outside our classrooms. I believe that with the increasing advancement in technology, the acceleration of globalization in our world, and the worldwide use of English as the standard for communication, we teachers need to help second language students develop pragmatic awareness of English

The goals of language learning and teaching Introduction It is generally recognized that language is a "vehicle for the expression or exchanging of thoughts, concepts, knowledge, and information as well as the fixing and transmission of experience and knowledge."(Bussmann, 1996: 253) Language is the method in which people from certain culture organize their thoughts, helping them to communicate with each other. Moreover, language shapes their relationship with other cultural people, and different

1. Lightbrown & Spada examined the influence of form-focused instruction and corrective feedback on communicative teaching. What has previous research on this topic indicated? What do we learn about this important topic based on their results and conclusions? As Lightbrown and Spada(1990) suggested that language teaching went through a major change from focusing explicitly on teaching of language to teaching language in use. Language used to be taught through its grammar, then the focus shifted

the language learners who are trying to communicate in target language. Krashen (1982) argues, corrective feedback may be useless if learners are not ready to learn. Corder (1967) and Selinker (1972) considered errors as a part of the learners’ interlanguage and an evidence of progress. On the other hand, if the teachers don’t correct learner’s errors in the classroom, may the other students of the class consider them as a correct form and it could lead to fossilization. Behaviorists consider errors

from the variability in a TL construction (cf. section 2.3.2). The same conclusion can be drawn from the fact that non-robust input and the TL variable structure are proposed as two different, though closely related and interacting, forces of interlanguage fossilization (Han, 2013) (see section 2.3.1). For simplicity, variability in a TL construction will be referred to as “construction variability” in the remainder of this dissertation proposal. To recapitulate, Han’s (2014) conceptualization of

How to Tame a Wild Tongue, was a very interesting essay, she combined both the Spanish and the English language into the essay.

I will discuss how the mix of languages and the fragmented character of the text put a demand on me as the reader, in what sense is my reading experience similar to what Anzaldua calls the “Borderland”, and how my position on the border

Second language acquisition has become an increasingly active field of study in the past couple of decades. As the world became more dynamic and people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds more connected, language played a crucial role in keeping those relations successful. Subsequently, knowledge of only one language has become rarely sufficient, resulting in growing bilingualism. As bilingualism has slowly become the new norm, the researchers have become engrossed in the field of

Error Analysis is one of the major topics in the field of second language acquisition research. Errors are an integral part of language learning. The learner of English as a second language is unaware of the existence of the particular system or rule in English language. The learner 's errors have long been interested for second and foreign language researchers. The basic task of error analysis is to describe how learning occurs by examining the learner 's output and this includes his/her correct
