Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence Using the Cooperative Principle
Freiová, Kristina ; Uličná, Klára (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (referee)
The following thesis introduces a four-lesson teaching intervention focused on the development of Intercultural Communicative Competence of EFL learners through their exposure to the Cooperative Principle and its four maxims. The main aim is to help the students better notice, interpret and interculturally compare inexplicit communication in English. The Cooperative Principle serves as an organizationally clear framework, which allows for succinct yet quite extensive analyses of implicatures created by speakers of various cultural backgrounds. A quasi-experiment conducted in four groups of students aged 16 to 17 assesses whether the intervention really enhances the Intercultural Communicative Competence of the students, raising their awareness of the influence that culture has on inexplicit communication and language in general.
