It combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore strategies secondary school students employ in a German-Tanzanian student exchange in order to reach their communicative goals. Introducing and drawing on the TeenELF corpus, the book investigates the speaker- and situation-specific potential of repetition and repair, complimenting, laughter and humour as well as various practices of translanguaging. The study reveals ELF as a transcultural space, in which different linguacultural influences meet and merge, while meaning, rapport and identity are interactionally negotiated. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the face of an increasing interest in ELF-informed pedagogy, the present approach investigates the communicative needs and competences of school students and derives both theoretical as well as classroom implications from its linguistic findings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharina Beuter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3112214153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783112214152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.10w x 0.62d","brand":"Katharina Beuter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437241479423,"sku":"9783112214152","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89ba6095-8222-4741-808f-7680cc3c6afb.jpg?v=1777160623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-as-a-lingua-franca-katharina-beuter-9783112214152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
