Test students' ability to apply discourse analysis and pragmatic theory to real academic email excerpts: identify and label speech acts (e.g., requests, refusals, offers, apologies), classify politeness strategies (positive/negative politeness, mitigation, indirectness, hedging), analyze face-threatening potential and power/solidarity dynamics, evaluate pragmatic effectiveness for intended goals, and produce a revised email that improves politeness alignment and communicative outcome; include short answers with justification and one rewrite.
