Dan Brown posted a link in 2023 Conference
This presentation This study investigates the perceived value of pragmatic markers (e.g., I mean, you know, I see) in L2 interaction. Listeners rated L2 English dialogue containing expert-like use of pragmatic markers as more fluent, demonstrating their potential value in ESL listening/speaking instruction. Examples of materials for teaching PMs will be introduced.
