Zusammenfassung
In the last 10 years, the field of interlanguage pragmatics has seen a marked increase in the number of edited volumes (e.g. Rose and Kasper 2001; Bardovi-Harlig et al. 2006; Puetz and Neff-van Aertselaer 2008) and special issues (e.g. Alco´n Soler and Martı´nez Flor 2005; Barron and Warga 2007) being published that provide insights into how pragmatics may be learned and taught. The volume under review with its focus on pragmatics in the foreign language context is a welcome addition to the literature available. Following a preface by Amy Snyder Ohta, and an introductory chapter outlining the rationale for the volume by the two editors, the book is divided into three parts, with foci on learning (Part 1), teaching (Part 2), and testing (Part 3).
