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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783112214152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.10w x 0.62d","brand":"Katharina Beuter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750157086901,"sku":"9783112214152","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/english-as-a-lingua-franca-among-adolescents-transcultural-pragmatics-in-a-german-tanzanian-school-setting-9783112214152","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
