Góc nhìn xuyên văn hóa về hành động ngôn trung và ứng dụng vào giảng dạy tiếng Anh

Tóm tắt

Speech acts, the actions performed by utterances, play an important role in communication, particularly verbal one. Speech act performance requires not only knowledge of the language, but also knowledge about the appropriate use of that language in a certain situation within a particular culture.  As a result, cultural awareness constitutes an integral part of this important area of pragmatics. EFL learners need to know the similarities and differences between their mother tongue and English in the use of speech acts to minimize pragmatic failures. A cross-cultural perspective is consequently required to gain insight into those issues. In terms of pedagogical values, it will also shed light on the necessity of incorporating speech acts into language teaching and carry some implications for English language teachers.
