LANGUAGE ELICITATION TASKS: CONSIDERING VALIDITY

Below you will find two articles that incorporate instruments of language elicitation:  1) an article that was rejected, and 2) an article that was published this year.  Read the articles in order (i.e. the rejected one first), and comment on the validity of the instruments used in both.   In other words, what do you think about the data that such instruments produce?

Please write your comments below before our next class.

ARTICLE 1:  Helping EFL Learners Deal With Rudeness

ARTICLE 2: The Effect of Instruction on Pragmatic Routines in Academic Discussion
