Description
As a Pragmatics SIG activity, we have been working on TEFL pragmatics and have developed pragmatic notions in English that our students essentially need to learn. However, we might also need to understand pragmatics in the students’ language, Japanese. In this forum, we will contrastively analyse Japanese pragmatics for us to evaluate students’ pragmatic practices in Japanese. Four panellists will conduct a wider and more holistic discussion on Japanese pragmatics after the panel presentations.
