| Title | Dancing with Words: Strategies for Learning Pragmatics in Spanish |
| Body | From Dancing with Words, http://www.carla.umn.edu/speechacts/sp_pragmatics/home.html The Dancing with Words website was designed as a “self-access” website for students to learn Spanish Pragmatics independently. The website is also a great tool for teachers to learn more about pragmatics themselves and get ideas for how to add more pragmatics to their classroom instruction, through a combination of independent work by students and in-class activities and discussion. The website contains a total of nine modules. Supplementary information has also been incorporated throughout the website. The modules available are: *Introduction to Pragmatics (to be completed before any of the other modules) *Compliments and Compliment Responses *Gratitude & Leave Taking *Requests *Apologies *Invitations *Service Encounters *Advice, Suggestions, Disagreements, and Reprimands *Considerations for Pragmatic Performance (a reference module) The content within each module varies based on the empirical research available; however, each unit consists of six basic sections: 1) Introduction to the communicative act, 2) Interaction with the communicative acts, 3) Presentation of pragmatic strategies specific to each communicative act, 4) Exploration of social factors, 5) Navigation of language variation, and 6) Summary.
