The Center for Japanese Studies, the National Resource Center - East Asia, and the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa are pleased to announce a jointly sponsored online publication: "Selected Papers from Pragmatics in the CJK Classroom: The State of the Art" (Dina R. Yoshimi and Haidan Wang, eds.). The publication can be accessed at: http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/CJKProceedings .

This publication presents research results and instructional innovations pertaining to teaching and learning the pragmatics of Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, and Korean as foreign languages. Topics covered include the development of pragmatic competence by children and college-age students in foreign and second language settings, pragmatics-focused instruction on the mixed use of speech styles in JFL and KFL classrooms, as well as the explicit instruction of requests and of telling stories of personal experience to lower level JFL learners; the use of "aizuchi" by intermediate and advanced JFL learners in classroom and office hour settings; cross-linguistic comparisons of the speech act of apology and of leave-taking practices designed to inform CFL instruction for English-speaking learners; and designing pragmatics-focused CFL instructional activities for business professionals in a China-focused MBA program.
