Purpose
Communication clashes Varying pronunciation Lexical choices Ways of speaking (conversation styles) Results
Greetings    An American was standing outside his apartment, smoking a cigarette. A neighbour came by. The American greeted  the neighbourwith “Hi! How’re doing?”   The neighbour  responded, “Hi! Have you eaten?”   “Not yet,” he answered.    The neighbour smiled, walked on, got into his car and drive away. Examples of clashes
Farewell ,[object Object]
Speech act : Leave taking    “When it was time to leave, we said our goodbyes, but stood around the living room, still talking. Next we moved to the door and put on our footwear. We stopped and chatted for a few more minutes. The next stop was at the gate. We chatted again. I was getting impatient with my parents. I wanted them to hurry up because I had some reading to do. Then we reached the car. Guess what? We stopped to chat some more. When we finally got into the car, I thought we would take off. But my uncle’s family came to the car and they talked some more. When we finally left, I remembered that I should have timed how long it took us from the first leave taking to when we finally went.”
Forms of address -Full titles ; Mr, Mrs and Ms. -Polite way or convenient way to address elders ; Uncle -Wrongly  address ; Chinese names Tan Poi Lim : Mr Lim instead of Mr Tan
Reluctance to receiving compliments, unlike non-Malaysians. Example: A: Wah! Your dress very nice, lah! B : Nah lah! Bought from PasarMalam. Cheap..cheap only. A: PasarMalam also still nice what! B : No response Accepting compliments
Interactions at informal gatherings Example: (A journal kept by a Malaysian participant on a visit to Britain) A : You must try this. I only make it once a year. B : I haven’t tasted it before. A : Good. You can taste it now. B : Ey, not so much! A : So little how to taste? B : Little first then can take some more. A : Ah! Your husband can take some more. C : Thank you, Aunty. I think I’ve had enough. A : What enough! Man must eat like a man! (Puts more food on his plate)
Advanced learners in schools have complained that they learn nothing in classes. Teachers of advanced learners said their students are fluent in English and there is nothing much to teach them. Conclusion
