contexts, that is, heterogeneity and variation. We also aimed to see if there are important differences in this regard between
the textbooks investigated, and if the way they present English is congruent with the English(es) Turkish learners of English are
likely to encounter based on an overall evaluation of the learner population(s). To this end, the textbooks were scrutinized closely
in terms of the kinds of people using English, the contexts where English is used, and the uses of English. A second component
of the study is interviews with publishers and distributors, curriculum developers, and material users. This analysis into EIL/
ELF-awareness in textbooks and of particular stakeholders provides important insights for both ELT publishing and ELT material
use and evaluation.

Exploring rapport management in the ELF of Politics: a focus on international political conversations

Wednesday, June 29th, 15:00-15:30, Auditorium

This study investigates the variety of ways rapport is negotiated, managed and ended across emergent political conversations that
take place among multi-national speakers of ELF. Commonly explored in academic settings or casual and evanescent situations of
brief intercultural encounter, rapport management has proven to be a fruitful field of investigation for ELF, highlighting the strategic
toolbox interlocutors bring in to the context of intercultural communication. Few studies, however, have focused on the use of
these strategies in an international political arena, with inconclusive data. In order to provide evidence for how rapport negotiation
takes place across various international political conversations, this study puts under focus a 3 hour-long transcribed selection
of conflict situations taken from the United Nations conventions on various topics of debate. The initial results of the analysis
particularly points out to the emergent patterns of confrontation, dissent organization as well as various strategies utilized to end
the confrontational frame. Results also suggest that, in ending the verbal conflict reliance on concessions and compromises play
a major role and that the use of ELF strategies as well as turn taking conventions show variation in comparison to more casual
practices of conversation.

‘Hi there’ or ‘dear professor’? Address terms in ELF in Australian acadèmia

Tuesday, June 28th, 11:00-11:30, Room 5

Research on address terms has revealed that the choice of address terms may be influenced by factors such as the interlocutors’
relationship, the speakers’ intentions, the formality of the context, the topic of conversation, and social variables such as gender, age,
and education. The role of address terms in emails in English as a Lingua Franca in Academic settings (ELFA) has, however, only been
marginally investigated. In academic contexts, inappropriate choice of address terms, for example in a student/staff email exchange,
may lead to misunderstandings and unintended perception of impoliteness, with possible damaging consequences. This presentation
reports on a study of the use and perception(s) of the choice of address terms in student-to-academic staff email communication in
ELFA in Australia.
The study relies on naturalistic email communication, as well as semi-structured interviews with both students and lecturers from
Monash University, the most internationalised university in Australia. The email data is used to examine the patterns of use of
address terms between students and staff in ELFA. The interviews explore the participants’ perceptions of the use of various address
terms, as well as their personal attitudes towards being addressed in certain ways. The results revealed that the address terms that
students use in their email range from being influenced by their L1 cultural norms, to what they perceive to be appropriate in email
communication in ELFA (e.g. you can be informal in your email to staff members in Australia).
