TGCI systematically integrates core concepts from linguistic pragmatics and discourse analysis into foreign language pedagogy, aiming to bridge the long-standing gap between communication theory and classroom practice. The project addresses key questions concerning how learners can be guided to consciously analyze communicative situations, manage turn-taking, interact with AI, and strategically deploy linguistic resources to achieve communicative goals. Methodologically, the monograph combines theoretical modeling with classroom-based empirical studies, including text analysis, prosodic annotation, mock debates, and reflective practitioner inquiry. Across seven case studies in university settings, TGCI was implemented as a structured pedagogical intervention encouraging EFL and ESP learners to treat language as a system rather than a set of isolated skills. The novelty of the suggested approach lies in repositioning linguistic theory as an operational classroom tool, fostering cognitively engaged, strategically competent communicators capable of adapting to diverse interpersonal, intercultural, and digitally mediated contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexey Tymbay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838221265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838221267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alexey Tymbay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997595283711,"sku":"9783838221267","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-theory-to-practice-alexey-tymbay-9783838221267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
