The present research is a case study, aiming to explore how the Interpersonal meta-function is reflected in the English classroom discourse, as well as to provide some suggestions for pedagogical improvement based on the findings. The results of the analysis indicate that in terms of Mood, the declarative clause is most frequently used, followed by the interrogative and imperative clause respectively; in terms of modality, the teacher uses modal verbs and Mood Adjuncts to express the degree of certainty; in terms of personal pronouns, the teacher prefers to use the first person plural pronouns. It is suggested that the class should be student-centered and that an equal teacher-student relationship should be established.展开更多

Conversations among characters in The Gadfly play an important role in interpreting the complex mind of the hero.

Thus, we can find a distinct contrast between Arthur and Rivarez, and the agony in Rivarez's mind.展开更多

It is for it that a shift is naturally coming up, i.e. more and more people's increasing concern on language use in real situations. For adult learners in China, English is quite different from the mother tongue that can be acquired naturally and with ease. In the learning process, linguistic knowledge is usually taught first, and then for the purpose of grasping language skills learners' automaticization should be involved. On the ground of the fact that classroom teaching is the main channel for most college students' to have their language input, teachers' wise strategies and full use of classrooms are quite essential for their language intake and general level as a whole. To enhance students' pragmatic competence, i.e. the ability to apply language flexibly and appropriately, this paper tries to find a way out in view of this concept, namely, the promotion of pragmatic competence by discourse analysis in writing classes.展开更多

A face-to-face interview is conducted to look into the content and logic of the sample discourse to verify the objective measures, the underlied motives and assumptions and validate the principles of the communicative accommodation theory. The result supports the principles of the discourse approach and the communication accommodation theory both from a foreigner's perception on his communicative adjustment to the target culture and from the communicative adjustment between the interviewer and the interviewee.展开更多
