The effects of learning environment on language development in general and pragmatic competence have received increasing attention in the last few decades. The existing studies examined the effects of ESL and EFL settings on pragmatic development from a variety of standpoints. Taking these studies as the basis, this comparative case study aimed to investigate the effects of target context and foreign context on the pragmatic development of two groups of learners, one learning a foreign language (English) and the other learning a second language (Turkish). What differentiates this study from the previous ones is that it compares the cases of learning foreign and second languages (by two different student groups) in the same country (Turkey) The participants, selected on purposeful sampling, were one group of Turkish learners of English in an EFL department in Turkey and the other group was learners from different nationalities learning Turkish in Turkey. The data were collected through participants’ self-reports, interviews and in-class observations by the researcher. The content analysis mainly revealed that the foreign context did not offer learners adequate chances for exposure to and practice in the target language, which negatively influenced their pragmatic development. However, the target context provided ample chances of natural and authentic communication in which learners of Turkish could develop their pragmatic knowledge and production. Based on these results, some pedagogical and practical suggestions are provided.

定语对外语和目标语境发展的定性研究。

在过去的几十年中,学习环境对语言发展的总体和实用能力的影响越来越受到关注。现有研究从多种角度考察了ESL和EFL设置对语用发展的影响。以这些研究为基础,本比较案例研究旨在研究目标语境和外国语境对两组学习者的语用发展的影响,一组学习外语(英语),另一组学习第二语言(土耳其语) 。这项研究与之前的研究的不同之处在于,它比较了在同一国家(土耳其)(通过两个不同的学生群体)学习外语和第二语言的情况。是一组在土耳其EFL部门的土耳其英语学习者,另一组是在土耳其学习土耳其语的不同国籍的学习者。研究人员通过参与者的自我报告,访谈和课堂观察收集了数据。内容分析主要显示,外国语境并没有为学习者提供足够的机会接触和练习目标语言,这对他们的语用发展产生了负面影响。但是,目标语境为土耳其学习者提供了充足的自然而真实的交流机会,使他们可以发展自己的实用知识和生产。基于这些结果,提供了一些教学和实践建议。研究人员通过参与者的自我报告,访谈和课堂观察收集了数据。内容分析主要显示,外国语境并没有为学习者提供足够的机会接触和练习目标语言,这对他们的语用发展产生了负面影响。但是,目标语境为土耳其学习者提供了充足的自然而真实的交流机会,使他们可以发展自己的实用知识和生产。基于这些结果,提供了一些教学和实践建议。研究人员通过参与者的自我报告,访谈和课堂观察收集了数据。内容分析主要显示,外国语境并没有为学习者提供足够的机会接触和练习目标语言,这对他们的语用发展产生了负面影响。但是,目标语境为土耳其学习者提供了充足的自然而真实的交流机会,使他们可以发展自己的实用知识和生产。基于这些结果,提供了一些教学和实践建议。对他们的务实发展产生了负面影响。但是,目标语境为土耳其学习者提供了充足的自然而真实的交流机会,使他们可以发展自己的实用知识和生产。基于这些结果,提供了一些教学和实践建议。对他们的务实发展产生了负面影响。但是,目标语境为土耳其学习者提供了充足的自然而真实的交流机会,使他们可以发展自己的实用知识和生产。基于这些结果,提供了一些教学和实践建议。
