English For Beyond The Classroom

Sunday, May 17th, 2015, 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Jim Ronald (Hiroshima Shudo University)

Much of the spoken language found in English textbooks or classrooms may appear strange, or even rude, in real communicative situations. We will first consider the ways that pragmatics may offer insights into how language is actually used in social contexts, then try out a range of pragmatics-focused classroom activities.
