Towards a New Pedagogy for Teaching Foreign Language Politeness
This book examines how foreign language speakers establish and maintain social and transactional relationships in their target language, and how pedagogic intervention can help learners implement practices that will allow them to participate and react in both socially acceptable and individualistically empowering ways. Arguing that ‘doing’ foreign-language politeness and culture does not simply involve the indiscriminate and uncritical adoption and implementation of target-language patterns and practices, the author advocates instead for active, judicious and even critical social action. As such, the book presents a dynamic and vibrant dimension to target language politeness and cultural...

Exploring the Power of Social Talk in a Foreign Language
This book examines the fundamental interactional dimension to foreign language communication, including the establishment, development, consolidation and maintenance of interpersonal relations. It argues that interpersonal language use such as small talk, casual conversation and gossipy talk is not only key to meaningful and productive communication but that it is an essential dimension with respect to successful foreign language interaction and that engaging in interpersonal language is communicatively valuable and worthwhile in its own right. Crucially, it explores how teaching and learning can utilize the role of social talk and relational engagement in helping interactants to express, voice and convey their own values, attitudes and beliefs. Finally, it develops a critical relational pedagogy focused on language speakers’ needs, objectives and desires. Redressing the imbalance between transactional and interactional language teaching, and stressing the importance of phatic and relational language use in helping language users achieve their communicative goals, it will appeal to researchers, postgraduates, and scholars in the fields of education and linguistics.

THESE PRECIOUS PEOPLE
The story you are about to read is not the complete story about my beloved parents and our family for I believe such an accomplishment is impossible. Most of the information was derived mostly from pure memory since no other means were available; i.e., notes, documents, recordings, or sufficient shared information. Also, it does not include each and every incident that I remember, and it is not intended to be a whole profile of their personalities and all their personal habits, which I deem unimportant for the purpose of my story, here and now.
