“…Findings have shown the productive use of pragmatic strategies, such as strategies related to the negotiation of meaning (e.g. requests for clarifications, reformulations, repetitions and paraphrasing), utterance co-construction, use of multilingual resources (Cogo & House 2018) and non-verbal communication (Birlik & Kaur 2020;Matsumoto 2019), in working towards common understanding. As a result, both researchers and practitioners have emphasised the need to prioritise the teaching of useful pragmatic strategies (Cogo & Pitzl 2016;Vettorel 2020) over emphasis on grammatical correctness.…”

Research in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), that is the medium of communication between people who come from different linguacultural backgrounds, has created a rich body of work in various areas. This article focuses on a more recent development of this research for teachers and teacher educators in the perspective of critical language education (CLE). We explore how ELF research, both the linguistic/discourse-oriented one and the pedagogic-oriented one, can benefit from its links to CLE, with its understanding of teaching for social change. We then refer to aspects of critical transformative theory that become relevant in designing and implementing ELF-aware teacher education programmes, focusing especially on three recursive (non-linear) components, i.e. the phase of exposure, the phase of critical awareness and the phase of development of actions that teachers can implement in their teaching. We finish by exploring the critical role of assessment in language education and conclude by inviting teachers and educators to become involved in ELF research for CLE.

“…This observation shows similarities with other findings from transnational contexts: despite the differences in power relations that exist beyond the interaction, face‐threatening sequences do not last long (cf. Matsumoto, 2019). The participants deploy strategies that show accommodation and alignment with one another.…”

The article examines the linguistic, material, and multimodal aspects of professional communication in guided tours in the Himalayas in Nepal. Using an ethnography-informed interactional sociolinguistics, the study analyses the key instances of miscommunication between an American tourist and an ethnic Tamang guide to understand how various identities are invoked by the participants. As the article considers the complexity of working for tourists in the second language in which a worker's competence is questioned, it also recognizes the importance of a range of semiotic resources that tour guides deploy to negotiate professional authority with tourists. Overall, the findings show how individuals manage interpersonal relations and expertise in transnational workplaces to contest and reconstruct dominant social positions and achieve their interactional goals.
