The present paper attempts to present a pedagogical model for the integration of pragmatic competence in the foreign language classroom by following an inductive-deductive approach. For the sake of the current article, the pragmatic feature that has been chosen is the speech act of refusals. The rationale behind this selection is based on the fact that refusals are seen as a face-threatening act which may confront listeners’ expectations (Eslami 2010: 217). Hence, learners should obtain a particular pragmatic expertise to outperform refusals successfully and that is the reason why the teaching of this speech act should be integrated in foreign language settings.

The aim of this study is to explore the task effect of two different research methods, namely those of interactive discourse completion tasks/tests (IDCTs) and role-play tasks (RPTs). The two research methods employed in this study adopt an interactive approach that allows participants to freely interact not only in the oral mode but also in the written mode. This paper compares the apology strategies elicited by means of IDCTs and in RPTs in terms of strategy length, amount of strategies and classification of strategies across the two elicitation techniques. Results from this comparison will be presented and discussed, and pedagogical implications suggested., El objetivo de este estudio es explorar el efecto en las tareas de dos tipos distintos de métodos de investigación, a saber, las tareas interactivas de compleción o finalización de discurso en un acto de habla (IDCTs, por sus siglas en inglés) y las tareas de juegos de roles (RPT, por sus siglas en inglés). Los dos métodos de investigación empleados en este estudio adoptan un enfoque interactivo que permite a los participantes interactuar libremente tanto en el modo oral con en el modo escrito. Este artículo compara las estrategias de disculpas evocadas mediante IDCTs y RPTs en cuanto a extensión de la estrategia, cantidad de estrategias y clasificación de estrategias en las dos técnicas de obtención de datos. Los resultados de estas comparaciones se presentarán y se comentarán, y se sugerirán implicaciones pedagógicas., L'objectiu d'aquest estudi és explorar l'efecte en les tasques de dos tipus diferents de mètodes d'investigació com són les tasques interactives per a completar discurs (IDCTs, per les seues sigles en anglés) i les tasques de jocs de rols (RPT, per les seues sigles en anglés). Els dos mètodes d'investigació emprats en aquest estudi utilitzen un enfocament interactiu que permet als participants interactuar lliurement tant en el mode oral com en el mode escrit. Aquest article compara les estratègies de disculpes suscitades mitjançant IDCTs i en RPTs quant a extensió de l'estratègia, quantitat d'estratègies i classificació d'estratègies en les dos tècniques d'evocació. Presentarem i comentarem els resultats d'aquesta comparació, i en suggerirem implicacions pedagògiques.

The development of learners' communicative competence has been regarded as the major goal of foreign and second language teaching. Several authors have advanced various communicative models in order to better explain how language teaching and learning work (e.g. Canale & Swain, 1980; Canale, 1983; Bachman, 1990; Celce-Murcia et al. 1995; Usó-Juan & Martínez-Flor 2006). One of the elements of the communicative model is that of intercultural competence (Byram, 1997; Usó-Juan & Martínez-Flor, 2008). This competence has been defined by Meyer (1991, p. 137) as "the ability of a person to behave adequately in a flexible manner when confronted with actions, attitudes and expectations of representatives of foreign cultures". Cultural dimensions play a paramount role in learners' learning process; however, there is not apparently a particular approach for its integration in the language classroom. Taken into account those aspects, in this paper, I attempt to provide an instructional approach for the integration of culture in the language classroom so as to foster learners' communicative competence. The present paper presents first a revision of different communicative models, then, a description of the notion intercultural competence is provided. Finally, an instructional approach for the teaching of this particular competence is proposed.

El objetivo de esta tesis es contribuir a la investigación en pragmática del interlenguaje y multimodalidad. El objetivo principal es explorar como aprendices de lengua en distintos niveles de lengua realizan quejas desde la perspectiva del análisis de la conversación (Kasper, 2006). Un análisis multimodal de la conversación se ha realizado para examinar cómo diferentes modos interactúan en la construcción de la conversación. El marco teórico presentado en el estudio se centró en la naturaleza de la pragmática (Crystal, 1985; Leech, 1983; Thomas, 1983), pragmática del interlenguaje (Kasper & Blum-Kulka, 1993), análisis de la conversación (Sacks et al., 1974), nivel de lengua (e.g. Al-Gahtani & Roever, 2012), el acto de habla de las quejas (e.g. Trosborg, 1995; Laforest, 2002), y la multimodalidad (Jewitt, et al., 2016)., The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the research on interlanguage pragmatics and multimodality. The main purpose is to explore how learners at different proficiency levels perform complaints and responses to complaints following a conversation analysis approach (Kasper, 2006). Furthermore, a multimodal conversation analysis is conducted in order to examine how different modes interact in the construction of the conversation. To meet the objectives of the thesis, the theoretical framework presented in the study focused on the nature of pragmatics (Crystal, 1985; Leech, 1983; Thomas, 1983), interlanguage pragmatics (Kasper & Blum-Kulka, 1993), conversation analysis (Sacks et al., 1974), proficiency (e.g. Al-Gahtani & Roever, 2012), the speech act of complaints (e.g. Trosborg, 1995; Laforest, 2002), and multimodality (Jewitt, et al., 2016). This framework served to explore participants' performance of complaints sequences at different proficiency levels, specific conversational features such as backchannel and overlapping, paralanguage and kinesics.

The goal of the present paper is to provide a discourse-based teaching approach for the integration of the speech act of apologies from a communicative perspective. In so doing, special attention is paid to how sociocultural norms affect language use. The rationale behind the selection of this speech act is based on the fact that the realisation of this pragmatic aspect might be complex for learners of English as a Second/Foreign Language (SL/FL) not only when selecting appropriate utterances, but also in assessing what an offense involves and its severity (Bergman and Kasper, 1993). Taking these aspects into account, this paper provides first a review of politeness theory, then, a description of the speech act under investigation is presented, and finally, pedagogical implications regarding the integration of apologies in the second/foreign language classroom are suggested. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un enfoque instructivo desde una perspectiva discursiva para la integración del acto de habla de la disculpa desde una perspectiva comunicativa. De este modo, se da especial atención a cómo las normas socioculturales afectan al uso del lenguaje. Se ha seleccionado este acto de habla puesto que su realización podría ser compleja para los estudiantes de inglés como segunda lengua/lengua extranjera (SL/LE) no sólo en la selección de estrategias apropiadas, sino también en cuanto a la evaluación de lo que una ofensa implica y cuál es su severidad (Bergman y Kasper, 1993). Teniendo en cuenta los aspectos mencionados, este trabajo presenta en primer lugar una revisión de la teoría de la cortesía, en segundo lugar, una descripción del acto de habla objeto de estudio, y finalmente se proponen sugerencias pedagógicas respecto a la integración de disculpas en el aula de segundas lenguas/lenguas extranjeras.
