Download or read book Email Discourse Among Chinese Using English as a Lingua Franca written by Yuan-shan Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning research field of English as a lingua franca. In a pioneering step, the collection is exclusively devoted to the English email discourse of Chinese speakers. The studies address innovative topics related to various contexts and relationships, using several different approaches and theories, which taken together shed light on how English serves as a lingua franca in multiple types of global written communication. The research topics presented are organized into four thematic sections, including emails from students to professors, emails from students to the international academic community, emails from peer to peer, and emails at the workplace. This collection of empirical research invites readers to consider the special features of apologies, requests, terms of address, politeness, and discourse organization, and how cultural differences may affect the use or interpretation of each. Throughout the book, readers will also discover how Chinese speakers use special features and strategies to construct their identity, establish relationships, and achieve successful communication in English. This highly informative, thought-provoking book also provides insights on methods for teaching email discourse using English as a lingua franca and suggests directions for future research.

Download or read book Email Pragmatics and Second Language Learners written by Maria Economidou-Kogetsidis and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edited collection focusing exclusively on how second language users interpret and engage with the processes of email writing. With chapters written by an international array of scholars, the present volume is dedicated to furthering the study of the growing field of L2 email pragmatics and addresses a range of interesting topics that have so far received comparatively scant attention. Utilising both elicited and naturally-occurring data, the research in this volume takes the reader from a consideration of learners’ pragmatic development as reflected in email writing, and their perceptions of the email medium, to relational practices in various email functions and in a variety of academic contexts. As a whole, the contributions incorporate research with learners from a range of proficiency levels, language and cultural backgrounds, and employ varied research designs in order to examine different email speech acts. The book provides valuable new insights into the dynamic and complex interplay between cultural, interlanguage, pedagogical, and medium-specific factors shaping L2 email discourse, and it is undoubtedly an important reference and resource for researchers, graduate students and experienced language teachers.

Download or read book Discourse and language learning across L2 instructional settings written by and published by Brill. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on discourse and language learning originated in the field of general education and they focused on first language learning environments. However, since 1980s research on discourse and language learning broadened the scope of investigation to respond to second and foreign language environments. Recently, the emergence of new language learning contexts such as computer mediated communication, multilingual settings or content and language integrated contexts requires further research that focuses on discourse and language learning. From this perspective, the present volume aims to broaden the scope of investigation in foreign language contexts by exploring discourse patterns in the classroom and examining the impact of factors such as gender, explicitness of feedback or L1 use on language learning through discourse. With that aim in mind, this volume will bring together research that investigates discourse in various instructional settings, namely those of primary, secondary and university L2 learning environments, content and language integrated contexts and other new language learning settings. The number and variety of languages involved both as the first language (e.g. English, Finnish, Basque, Spanish, Japanese, French, Italian, Catalan) as well as the target foreign language (e.g. English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) makes the volume specially attractive. Additionally, the different approaches adopted by the researchers participating in this volume, such as information processing, sociocultural theory, or conversation analysis, widen the realm of investigation on discourse and language learning. Finally, the strength of the volume also lies in the range of educational settings (primary, secondary and tertiary education) and the worldwide representation of contributors across seven different countries, namely those of Spain, France, Austria, Finland, Germany, Canada, Australia and the United States. The uniqueness of the volume is due to its eclectic and comprehensive nature in tackling instructional discourse. Worldwide outstanding researchers, like Julianne House, Carme Muñoz, Ute Smit, Tarja Nikula or Roy Lyster, to quote but a few, adopt different perspectives in this joint contribution that will certainly broaden the scope of research on language learners’ discourse.

Download or read book How to Easily Write Effective E mails in English written by Fiona E. Campbell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working at an international level often means having to communicate in a foreign language - how much difficulty and stress does this create in your daily life? Writing effective e-mails in our native language is challenging enough; the difficulty in another language is obviously magnified. The quantity of time we spend writing e-mails in a foreign language often exceeds the quality of the message we actually send. We all know that it takes twice as long, and even longer, to write something in another language, don't we? I know well, I can assure you, it is the same for me in Italian. No matter how 'fluent' we are in a second language, we always worry about embarrassing ourselves and not giving our usual professional image when we communicate to our customers and business in a language that isn't ours. One of the most time consuming, yet important, tasks that we have to do each day is to go through our inboxes that overflow with messages that require responses - urgent and non. Precious time is taken away from the activities and results we have to produce while we worry and feel frustrated about making mistakes, creating misunderstandings and not being able to express ourselves in the same way as we can in our own language. With the amount of e-mails we have to deal with on a daily basis, even seemingly "unimportant" e-mails become much bigger obstacles than they should be. All this frustration leads us to build up even more stress in our work. Learning to write in English, however, does not have to be painful and stressful. This book has been specifically created with you in mind. It aims to help you to: - become more competent and confident in writing e-mails in English; - have at your disposal, all the basic key expressions and phrases you'll need; - express yourself clearly, simply and concisely; - write organized, focused and effective e-mails; - avoid writing unnecessary e-mails; - obtain the results, information or action you require more effectively and promptly. This practical and informative book offers indispensable guidance for writing simple, short and organized e-mails in English. It is full of useful and valuable information and advice on e-mail communication and structure. It contains lots of essential formal and informal functional phrases and expressions in English. It consists of five modules - each one focusing on different components and structure of an email, key functional language, phrasal verbs and useful and practical activities have been incorporated to help you immediately repeat, practice and consolidate the language and concepts introduced in each module. There are over 34 practical activities for you to complete and lots of practical rules for you to have available whenever you need them. This e-workbook offers you structure and a 7 point framework to follow: 1.identify your audience; 2.identify the purpose of your e-mail; 3.write a suitable subject line; 4.select an appropriate greeting and opening phrase; 5.say why you are writing; 6.select an appropriate closing phrase and sign off; 7.check your e-mail for errors and style then push the send button. It's as simple as this. Obviously you have to add the relative personal content - time / dates / official data etc (I can't give you this information!) - but, along with checklists, sample e-mails, useful reference data and punctuation and spelling tools you have everything you'll need in order to be able to easily write effective and focused e-mails in English. Finally no more stress!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by “stealing” from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journey—getting known. Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time “networking.” It’s not self-promotion, it’s self-discovery—let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive. In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity— what he calls the “ecology of talent.” From broader life lessons about work (you can’t find your voice if you don’t use it) to the etiquette of sharing—and the dangers of oversharing—to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it’s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
