31	Sprechakte - Sprachspiel - Szenisches Spiel : zur pragmatischen Begründung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts Fischaess, Frank. January 2000 (has links) The following work is based on the proposition that foreign languages are primarily acquired for the purpose of communication in a multicultural context. This communicative aspect of language is my main concern. The thesis defines the theoretical and practical implications of an action-orientated language teaching environment. I base my own work on the theory of speech acts as elaborated by John L. Austin and John R. Searle, as well as Ludwig Wittgenstein's theory of language games. I corroborate the theory of speech acts as being defined and established in any act of communication, such as a conversation. This leads me to the examination whether such language games can be realized through applying action-orientated teaching methods to teach foreign languages. Within the context of this thesis, I examine whether these methods can effectively improve the student's ability to communicate. This work favors integrated methodical procedures that engage the student in playacting in the foreign tongue. Communicative competence.
