| Popis | This article deals with a case study of a videoconference (VC) course held jointly between law students from Masaryk University, Czech Republic and law students from the University of Helsinki, Finland. A corpus of video recordings of VC sessions was collected over a period of four semesters in order to analyse situations where non-observance of Grice’s Cooperative Principle and/or Leech’s Politeness Maxims interferes with or completely disables the flow of communication between students. The aim is to explain why attention to certain pragmatic issues in teaching English via videoconferencing has been identified as important. Results of this case study are applied to teaching methodology and implemented into the course structure. |
