| Sumario: | This doctoral thesis focuses on negotiation and co-construction of meaning within a pragmatic perspective. We analyse chat and videoconference exchanges within the project Telecollaboration for Intercultural Language Acquisition (TILA) in which native and non-native English and Spanish pupils at Secondary Education levels negotiate and co-construct meaning, and discuss the pragmatic mechanisms allowing to adequate interaction. We analyse the mechanisms undertaken (e.g. requests, explanations and politeness strategies) and how the presence of native speakers may affect communication, and compare the mechanisms in terms of the digital application used. The thesis includes a didactic proposal in English and Spanish aimed at enhancing pupils’ pragmatic competence and at promoting meaning negotiation and coconstruction in language acquisition. We display multimodal tasks designed to be tested in the TeCoLa project as well as classroom activities to develop students’ pragmatic competence and make them aware of the essential role that pragmatics plays in communication |
