Conversation Strategies and Communicative Competence

Focusing on the enhancement of communicative competence, the book presents research into teaching conversation strategies. It begins with key definitions and objectives, followed by four distinct studies: a learner corpus investigation, a materials evaluation from teachers' perspectives, an experimental study comparing instructional impacts, and a qualitative analysis through diaries and interviews. The author concludes by reflecting on the implications these findings hold for educators and researchers in the field of language teaching.
