Humor in the Classroom provides practical, research-based answers to questions that educational researchers and language teachers might have about the social and cognitive benefits that humor and language play afford in classroom discourse and additional language learning. The book considers the ways in which humor, language play, and creativity can construct new possibilities for classroom identity, critique prevailing norms, and reconfigure particular relations of power. Humor in the Classroom encourages educational researchers and language teachers to take a fresh look at the workings of humor in today’s linguistically diverse classrooms and makes the argument for its role in building a stronger foundation for studies of classroom discourse, theories of additional language development, and approaches to language pedagogy.

At university, my research was how humor can have positive effect on learning English language because I found that a majority of students suffered from having stress in the classroom. According to many educational specialists, it also can be considered as an important obstacle in learning foreign language. Obviously, it is well realized that students are more willing to participate in classrooms in which they are strongly supported. As it is believed, learning a second or foreign language requires a particular "positive and relax" atmosphere in the classroom. The noticeable effects of humor in EL classrooms could be the injection of motivation, removing anxiety and stress and also creating a comfortable environment for foreign language learners.

The language barrier is a familiar term, but what exactly is the humor barrier? Humor is a universal phenomenon, but the cultural variance in how humor is used can prove to be a major obstacle for English language learners hoping to communicate effectively in cross-cultural contexts. While a growing number of researchers have explored the importance of helping language learners better understand the humor of the target culture, in Bridging the Humor Barrier: Humor Competency Training in English Language Teaching, editors John Rucynski Jr. and Caleb Prichard bring together language teachers and researchers from a range of cultural and teaching contexts to tackle how to actually overcome the humor barrier. This book empirically examines humor competency training and presents related research bearing implications for humor training. Contributors address a wide range of genres of humor, providing fresh insights into helping language learners deepen their understanding and appreciation of the humor of the English-speaking world, including jokes, sarcasm, and satire. This book is an excellent resource for English language teachers looking to help their learners avoid the pitfalls and reap the benefits of humor in the target language.

This study examined the importance of explicitly teaching humor to upper-intermediate and advanced adult English language learners (ELLs), and filled in the gap that exists in studies and literature by examining the use, and implementation of humor in English as a second language/foreign language (ESL/EFL) curricula. Humor is an important human behavior, playing a crucial role in communication, social interactions, and comprehension of a second language (L2) culture. High-level ELLs often lack the linguistic and cultural awareness necessary to effectively communicate. Language courses often accentuate test-taking and language strategies, and courses that explicitly engage with and teach humor to students are simply not available. This thesis utilized a qualitative research approach to conduct interviews with ten ELLs from various cultures in order to better comprehend the issues facing learners in their linguistic and cultural learning journeys. The data collected serves present educators in being able to construct viable curricula using the explicit instruction of humor in the language learning classroom. The participants in this study disclosed that not having access to courses concerning humor acted as a limitation for them in many ways. Humor allows ELLs a more relaxed environment in which to learn, fosters strong class cohesion, aids in knowledge retention, and is a constructive way to learn about vocabulary, syntax, semantics and discourse conventions (Bell, 2009). The explicit instruction of humor also supplies learners with the necessary social and cultural awareness many fail to achieve even at higher levels of language acquisition. The data collected over the course of this thesis serves present educators by providing tools to assist them in the construction of viable curricula using the explicit instruction of humor in the language learning classroom. This thesis concludes with recommendations for educators to implement explicit humor instruction in order to supply ELLs with applicable language tools for both language development as well as comprehension of a second language culture.
