The authors consider that the theoreticalframework and methodologies can provide the teaching and learning of Englishprofoundly.From the previous study of the notion of interpersonal meaning, it is evident thatscholars and researchers didn’t hold an agreeable idea on the definition ofinterpersonal meaning.
