Reviews

This innovative book takes a fresh perspective on learning, teaching and assessing pragmatics. It manages to be both scholarly and highly practical, and its coverage of pragmatics instruction by non-native speaker teachers makes a unique and much needed contribution to the field. * Carsten Roever, University of Melbourne, Australia * This book is a significant and timely contribution to the area of teaching pragmatics. Being aware that it is difficult to define what native and nonnative speaker means, Cohen's book takes a close look at teaching and learning pragmatics, providing material in a number of different languages and cultures. It will be read with interest by any teacher educator and researcher. * Eva Alcon Soler, Universitat Jaume I, Spain * This book is a timely addition to the field, helping us move from the native-nonnative distinction to native-nonnative collaboration when teaching pragmatics in a language classroom. A variety of personal experiences and episodes used to illustrate theories, research, and practice make the content of pragmatics fully accessible to teachers and students. This book is the ideal companion for practitioners and researchers who wish to gain a thorough understanding of issues related to pragmatics learning in a global context. * Naoko Taguchi, Carnegie Mellon University, USA *
