Intercultural Pragmatics

Abstract

My hypothesis is that dealing with pragmatics as an English language teacher and analyse the advantages and disadvantages of intercultural pragmatics is a very important and useful thing which help us teachers to be more successful in teaching English as a second language for young learners. The other hypotheses refer to those children who learn English as a second language. There are differences between the levels of using politeness structures with second language learners at the age of twelve and fourteen.
