In step with advancing globalization, applied linguists are compelled to reconsider established assumptions about language use and learning (Kramsch, 2014). Focusing on English as a lingua franca (ELF), this article illustrates how realities of globalization have challenged our conventional ways of researching and teaching second language (L2) pragmatics. In the context of ELF where English is used as a medium of communication among nonnative speakers as well as between native and nonnative speakers, researchers need to examine pragmatic competence based on how L2 learners can navigate communicative demands by using communication strategies skillfully while negotiating their identities. At the same time, it is tenable for teachers to move away from the sole dependence on idealized native-speaker models of appropriateness, politeness, and formality in their pedagogical practice and instead incorporate a nonessentialist viewpoint into formal instruction. This article discusses these recent trends in researching and teaching pragmatics under the lingua franca framework.

英语作为通用语的语用学：全球化时代的研究与教育学

随着全球化的推进，应用语言学家被迫重新考虑关于语言使用和学习的既定假设（Kramsch，2014）。本文以英语作为通用语 (ELF) 为重点，阐述了全球化现实如何挑战我们研究和教授第二语言 (L2) 语用学的传统方式。在英语被用作非母语者之间以及母语者和非母语者之间的交流媒介的 ELF 语境中，研究人员需要检查语用能力，基于二语学习者如何在协商他们的身份时巧妙地使用沟通策略来驾驭交际需求. 同时，教师摆脱对理想化的母语者模式的恰当依赖、礼貌、他们的教学实践中的形式和形式，而是将非本质主义观点纳入正式教学。本文讨论了在通用语框架下研究和教授语用学的这些最新趋势。
