EXPLORING ENGLISH FORMAL DISCOURSE TO ENHANCE SPANISH SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE
Abstract
This study investigates how exposure to English formal discourse can contribute to the development of sociolinguistic competence among Spanish learners. By examining the structural, pragmatic, and cultural characteristics of English formal communication, the research aims to reveal its pedagogical potential in improving pragmatic awareness, register control, and cross-cultural adaptability. The study employs a qualitative approach based on discourse analysis and classroom experimentation within advanced Spanish learners of English.
