Abstract

In university health sciences programs in English speaking countries the recruitment of large numbers of students having English as an Additional Language (EAL) raises concerns regarding workplace communication. This case study focuses on a specific group of EAL students in the penultimate year of their undergraduate pharmacy program located in a university in South Australia, and investigates sociopragmatic features in effective and ineffective patient counselling simulations. The study therefore is interdisciplinary, based in the intersecting fields of discourse analysis in healthcare contexts, pragmatic and sociopragmatic analysis, and speech act analysis, notably of advice giving.
