PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Anggapan umum ialah ciri-ciri pragmatik bahasa sasaran perlu diberi perhatian
terhadap pelajar bahasa melalui pengajaran pragmatik berfokuskan “form”. Untuk
menilai tahap pemahaman pengajaran pragmatik “Focus on Form” dan “Focus on
Forms”, satu kajian eksperimen telah dijalankan terhadap 45 orang siswazah yang
mengambil kursus Bahasa Inggeris di Universiti Sains Malaysia.
The common assumption is that target language pragmatic features need to be
brought to language learners’ direct attention through form-focused pragmatic
instruction for them to be learned. To assess language learners’ level of pragmatic
comprehension and the effectiveness and sustainability of Focus on Form and Focus
on Forms pragmatic instruction on pragmatic comprehension, an explanatory
experimental study was conducted on 45 undergraduates studying English language
at Universiti Sains Malaysia by random assignment of participants to three equal
groups of Focus on Forms, Focus on Form, and Control and conducting a 6-session
intervention based on listening tasks. Focus on Forms group received metapragmatic
explanations of target language conversational implicatures, Focus on Form group
received input enhancement by highlighting target language conversational
implicatures of listening transcripts, and control group practiced some listening
activities.
