SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
AbstractTextbooks, being at the heart of every educational program, are treated with much care and delicacy in terms of writing. These subtleties are usually reflected in countless ways including the use of pragmatic elements in different sections of these books including the dialogues sections. This thesis investigated the types and frequencies of implicatures, various types of speech acts, and pragmatic markers in American English Files and the Prospect series in a comparative manner consistent with the studies conducted before. For the speech acts, Searle’s (1976) typology of speech acts was used. In the case of implicatures, Leech’s expansionist theory was employed. Pragmatic markers were analysed using Biber’s (1999) definition of pragmatic markers. This research investigated the frequency and types of the aforementioned pragmatic elements using different methods including Pearson’s Chi-square test in order to evaluate these two textbook series and also pinpoint their problems and put forward suggestions regarding the ways through which these textbooks can be made more efficient. Since doing a meta-analysis reveals that many series share the very same order of presenting grammatical structures and vocabulary items, and the problems found in one of these series are likely to be found in other series as well, the results of this study might be generalizable to a great extent. These books have been chosen because the American English Files, with their focus being on the socio-cultural aspects of learning English, are very rich in terms of the pragmatic elements they contain and are very popular with students trying to learn and master American English; Prospect series are taught in high schools and are of paramount importance for Iranian people. This study employed a mixed-methods design to answer questions of both qualitative and quantitative nature. The data obtained from these two sources revealed that there was no significant difference between these series in terms of the pragmatic elements they contained. The findings of this research can be used in a wide variety of contexts. Researchers in the areas of materials development, pragmatics, and teacher training will find the study at hand very useful. It was found out that no significant difference existed between the two series.
