A Matter of Politeness? On the Role of Face-Threatening Acts in Online Tutoring
Description:
The difference between experts and laypeople is also the subject of the paper by Gesa Linnemann, Benjamin Brummernhenrich and Regina Jucks. In an experiment in pedagogical psychology, they examine efficient knowledge acquisition in e-learning contexts. In the experiment, tutors applied various strategies to criticise the learners' results, with different intensity levels of face threat. If mitigating strategies were used, the learners considered the tutors to be more credible.
