Recenzii
“I believe that Hann has achieved his purpose to show readers how low-proficiency adult learners can use language to play despite their limitations. … Hann has made a valuable contribution in revealing deep insight into the meaning of laughter in the language classroom, and the ubiquitous ways in which play is present in the to-and-fro of healthy classroom communication.” (Phuong Anh Nguyen, alanz.org.nz, February 4, 2021)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Humorous language play is an ever-present, but rarely examined feature of interaction in language classrooms. In this book, Hann traces the life of playful utterances within the talk of students enrolled in intensive, short-term, business language courses. Empirically grounded and richly detailed, Hann’s work demonstrates why language educators and classroom researchers should take non-serious language use more seriously."
-- Anne Pomerantz, Professor of Practice, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
“This book shows how classroom language learners, even when of low proficiency and from diverse backgrounds, immediately form their own unique micro-culture. David Hann’s meticulous analysis of this process delivers important insights into the language classroom, the functions of humour and language play, and the nature of human interaction and society more generally. Written with great elegance and warmth, this is a book of immense significance to understanding all these areas.”
- -- Guy Cook, Emeritus Professor of Language in Education, King’s College London, UK
This book investigates the importance of humour and play in the establishment of individual and group identities among adult language learners on an intensive business English course. The enclosed setting allows the emergent nature of community building and identity projection to be traced, foregrounding the important role of humorous play in these vital social processes. The book will be of interest to students and researchers of applied linguistics, second language acquisition and humour studies.
