Abstract
Abstract
The current study aims to examine the realization of the speech act of advising among Egyptian university
teachers. To this end, 50 Egyptian university teachers at a private university completed eight role-plays in which they gave
solicited advice to their fellow teachers. The role-plays were recorded and later transcribed. The data were coded for the
advising strategies as well as the initiators and internal/external modifiers. The results showed the participants’ preference for
the use of direct advising. The results also showed a minimal influence for the advisor’s gender and years of teaching experience
on the participants’ advising preferences. A major influence, however, was observed for the variable of social dominance as
represented in the advisee’s academic rank. The results are interpreted in terms of the Mixed Game Model and earlier studies on
the speech act of advising.
