It combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore strategies secondary school students employ in a German-Tanzanian student exchange in order to reach their communicative goals. Introducing and drawing on the TeenELF corpus, the book investigates the speaker- and situation-specific potential of repetition and repair, complimenting, laughter and humour as well as various practices of translanguaging. The study reveals ELF as a transcultural space, in which different linguacultural influences meet and merge, while meaning, rapport and identity are interactionally negotiated. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the face of an increasing interest in ELF-informed pedagogy, the present approach investigates the communicative needs and competences of school students and derives both theoretical as well as classroom implications from its linguistic findings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book explores the interplay between language, culture and identity in adolescents' interactions in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). It investigates the communicative strategies of secondary school students taking part in a German-Tanzanian exchange and evaluates the implications for teaching and learning. ELF is revealed as a transcultural space where various linguacultural influences meet and merge in processes of negotiating meaning, rapport and identity. The volume breaks new ground in that it presents, for the first time, a book-length investigation of adolescents' use of ELF. Moreover, it explores ELF in an African-European setting, which has received little attention in ELF research so far. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatharina Beuter\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 297\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.06 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48265329672413,"sku":"9783112214152","price":28.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/67HnsUHJRd9783112214152.webp?v=1785166153","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/english-as-a-lingua-franca-among-adolescents-transcultural-pragmatics-in-a-german-tanzanian-school-setting-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
