Abstract
Book review: Taguchi, N., & Kim, Y. (Eds.). (2018). Task-based approaches to teaching and assessing pragmatics. John Benjamins Publishing Company. https://doi.org/10.1075/tblt.10
Highlights
The editors review task-based language teaching (TBLT) approaches and research trends in L2 Pragmatics over the last two decades
Reviewers: Yali Feng, Gyewon Jang, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America. This edited volume investigates the intersection of task-based language teaching (TBLT) approaches and second language (L2) pragmatics
The volume consists of one introductory chapter and eleven content chapters, organized in three parts: the role of metapragmatic discussion in teaching pragmatics through tasks (Chapters 2-4), using tasks to elicit pragmatic language use (Chapters 5-8), and applying tasks to assessing pragmatics in L2 learning (Chapters 9-12)
Summary
Task-based approaches to teaching and assessing pragmatics. This topic has not received much attention in the field of applied linguistics, but the pioneering efforts of two well-known researchers, Naoko Taguchi and YouJin Kim have made it possible with profound discussions on different ways of teaching and assessing L2 pragmatics through TBLT approaches.
