Hokkaido JALT:

Enhancing Learners' Cross-Cultural Communication Skills: L2 Pragmatics for All Ages

Date: Sunday, July 29th, 2012 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Noriko Ishihara (Hosei University)

Description:
This presentation focuses on the pragmatics of a second/foreign language and addresses possible ways to highlight appropriate language use in the classroom. Despite the common myth that pragmatics is the "fine-tuning" reserved for advanced learners, it can be incorporated into our everyday instruction from the first day of instruction for learners of all ages.
