PRAGMATIC AND INTERCULTURAL CHALLENGES IN STUDENT-STUDENT COMMUNICATION: A STUDY OF GROUP WORK IN MULTICULTURAL CLASSROOMS

This thesis examines the pragmatic and intercultural challenges faced by students working in groups in multicultural academic settings. By focusing on student-student communication, the study investigates how linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic differences influence interaction patterns, conflict resolution, and overall group dynamics. The research aims to identify the specific barriers to effective collaboration in diverse groups and propose strategies for promoting intercultural competence and effective communication in academic contexts.
