Description
"Pragmatics plays a crucial role in effective communication, yet it remains an underexplored area in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Japan. To address this gap, this forum will bring together the expertise of the Material Writers and Pragmatics Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to showcase innovative approaches to designing and implementing materials that foster pragmatic competence.
The session will feature 5 minute presentations from four experienced instructors who have researched or developed materials targeting key areas of pragmatics, such as speech acts, discourse markers, and culturally appropriate communication strategies. Each presenter will share insights into their research and practical approaches, followed by an interactive discussion session where attendees will engage in idea-sharing and collaborative problem-solving.
By attending this forum, participants will gain an understanding of how to create pragmatic materials tailored to diverse learner contexts and explore strategies to integrate pragmatics into their teaching practices. This collaborative session will provide valuable resources and inspiration for instructors committed to enhancing their students' pragmatic competence."
