Takagi, rather a cute and innocent guy, is best friends and class mates with Kumoi, the tall, intellectual guy. One day, Takagi sees a pencil sketch of a person in between Kumoi's notebook pages, stunned to find a sketch of a man, resembles his older brother. So he asks, "Is that a picture of my brother... he passed away 6 years ago…?" Kumoi responds, "no, no… that's nobody. It's just a doodle of a random guy." Takagi tells himself that Kumoi couldn't have possibly known his brother and that this was just a silly fluke and the drawing was nothing but a random drawing... but he can't stop thinking there is something more to the sketch...

This volume is not only the first book-length investigation into adolescents’ use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), it also explores ELF in an African-European context, which has received little attention in ELF research so far. The book examines the interplay between language, culture and identity in adolescents’ ELF interactions. It combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore strategies secondary school students employ in a German-Tanzanian student exchange in order to reach their communicative goals. Introducing and drawing on the TeenELF corpus, the book investigates the speaker- and situation-specific potential of repetition and repair, complimenting, laughter and humour as well as various practices of translanguaging. The study reveals ELF as a transcultural space, in which different linguacultural influences meet and merge, while meaning, rapport and identity are interactionally negotiated. In the face of an increasing interest in ELF-informed pedagogy, the present approach investigates the communicative needs and competences of school students and derives both theoretical as well as classroom implications from its linguistic findings.
