Socialising learners into emotion communication in a L 2 : Establishing a link between research data and classroom - based activities
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we explore ways in which the results of our studies on emotion communication across cultures (on which we report in the other paper we present at this symposium) can be used as a starting point for material and activity design, within a language socialization approach, and with a view to develop learners’ intercultural competence. Starting from theoretical and pedagogical considerations, we illustrate our rationale for material design, demonstrate some sample activities and suggest implementation strategies, as well as methods for evaluation.
