Para llevar a cabo esta investigación adopto un enfoque cualitativo y auto-reflexivo que alienta a los estudiantes a utilizar el lenguaje formulaico para expresar peticiones. Al responder a textos con situaciones discursivas, los estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de examinar si el uso de lenguaje formulaico mejora su habilidad para interactuar en formas aceptables y apropiadas. Los resultados indican que al desarrollar sus conocimientos y el uso de recursos pragmalingüísticos y sociopragmáticos, los estudiantes en todos los niveles tienen una mayor probabilidad de alcanzar sus objetivos comunicativos y de ser pragmáticamente más competentes cuando expresan peticiones en la lengua meta.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/57428Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentMugford, Gerrard (2017) Formulaic Language and EFL Requests: Sensitive Wording at the Right Time.
