- Keywords:pragmatic competence; speech acts; apologies; written discourse completion task; oral production task;
- Summary/Abstract:During the second half of the 20th century, there was a shift in focus in second language acquisition research from linguistic competence to communicative and pragmatic competence (Hymes, 1972; Canale & Swain, 1980; Canale, 1983; Bachman, 1990; Bachman & Palmer, 1996; Usó-Juan & Martínez-Flor, 2006). This resulted in a growing number of studies on speech acts in general. Motivated by a lack of studies on the speech acts of apology in conversations of Czech learners of English as a foreign language, my dissertation project aims to shed light on apology strategies used by Czech university students. The aim of this paper is to shows the findings of the pilot investigation. The first aim of the study was to compare two data collection techniques – the open-ended written discourse completion task (DCT) and oral production task (OPT). The second aim was to investigate the use of apology strategies by Czech learners of English. The findings suggest that both of the data collection techniques produce very similar data, as the three main apology strategies used by the respondents were the same: they were statements of remorse, reparation and accounts.

- Keywords:ESP; learning materials; theories of second-language acquisition; communicative approach; carrier content; real content; authenticity; skill-based activities; task-based activities; checklists;
- Summary/Abstract:This study provides a conceptual framework for an ESP coursebook design and evaluation process. The first chapter presents the basic characteristics of highquality coursebooks from the different authors’ point of view, describes the roles that ESP learning materials fulfil, discusses the issue of their content and authenticity, and deals with factors that should be taken into consideration when designing a coursebook including the role of teachers who design learning materials and work with them. The crucial part of the chapter is formulation of the principles of an ESP coursebook design based on SLA theories and description of a model of an ESP coursebook design concerning both adaptation of the available learning materials and design of new materials as well as the basic steps in designing one lesson of the coursebook. The second chapter draws from general approaches and rules for coursebooks evaluation, discusses the process of an ESP coursebook evaluation and gives examples of checklists whose development is one of the aims of the dissertation project focused on design-based research of an ESP coursebook.
