| Summary: | This book focuses on understanding the process of problem construction in oral communication in foreign language contexts, examining how speakers of English as a second language approach issues in oral communication, as well as the strategies they employ to overcome these difficulties. Using theories of general communication, and in particular current approaches to L2 oral communication and strategies in interactional discourse, the authors construct a theoretical framework for defining, identifying and classifying learners problems and coping strategies when speaking English as a second or foreign language. The book offers a coherent process-oriented description of the complex and multidimensional nature and typology of oral interaction problems in EFL contexts, and it will be of interest to practitioners, teachers, researchers, students, and curriculum designers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL. Alireza Jamshidnejad is Associate Professor of English Language Studies and TESOL at the Ministry of Higher Education, Oman. He has two PhDs in English language and Education, and over twenty years of experience teaching and researching English as a Foreign Language, English for Academic Purposes, Language Testing and Applied Linguistics. |
