| Title | Summer Institute: Language and Culture in Sync: Teaching the Pragmatics of a Second Language |
| Body | Language and Culture in Sync: Teaching the Pragmatics of a Second Language July 27-31, 2009, CARLA/University of Minnesota, Minneapolis A truly daunting challenge for second language learners is to adjust their language use so that it is appropriate for different socio-cultural contexts. How, for example, are learners supposed to address strangers, close friends, or people of higher social status in that culture? While acquiring discourse practices can take learners many years, research has shown that the process can be facilitated through explicit instruction. This institute provides practical insights for teachers on how to enhance the learning of pragmatics. Participants will have hands-on opportunities to develop activities and materials for the classroom. This institute is designed for K-16 ESL and foreign language teachers, material developers, curriculum coordinators, teacher educators, administrators, and researchers. More information about this institute is available on the CARLA website at http://www.carla.umn.edu/institutes/2008/pragmatics.pdf Information about registration: http://www.carla.umn.edu/institutes/register.html |
