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 \u003cstrong\u003eKatharina Beuter\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany.","brand":"DE GRUYTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381183172687,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":5495.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9783110786491","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
