Title: InterCom: September 7, 2020
Body:
This week, we begin diving into the study of pragmatics. To get started, check out this overview of the Intercultural, Pragmatic, and Interactional Competence (IPIC) Model. It provides a brief definition of pragmatics and a summary of the four components of the model: knowledge, analysis, subjectivity, and awareness.
There are a couple of other ways to get started with pragmatics this week!
- Check out our Facebook page after 11:00 am (Pacific) on Monday. While we are typically live on Mondays, given the holdiay, we will post a pre-recorded video. Even though we are pre-recorded, we invite you to participate in the conversation by posting in the comments.
-
Complete the Activity of the Week. In this activity, you will dissect a language function according to the IPIC Model.
Happy exploring! We are excited to continue engaging with you this week.

Title: L2 Pragmatics: The Basics
Body:
This activity was developed for teachers beginning to implement the study of pragmatics with their learners. It provides an introduction to the Intercultural Pragmatic Interactual Competence (IPIC) Model and is appropriate to implement with any language function.
Procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the IPIC Model by reading Sykes et al. (2020).
2. Watch this overview of the IPIC Model. It will support understanding of the reading.
3. Select a language function you want to explore (e.g., apologies, greetings, or requests). Consider each component of the IPIC Model (knowledge, analysis, subjectivity, and awareness) in relationshio to the function at hand. Document your ideas on the IPIC chart using either your L1 or your L2.
4. Optional: Document your ideas from the language you did not select for Step 3 to compare how the function is realized in both languages.
Notes:
While this activity was created for teachers, it would also be beneficial to utilize the IPIC chart with learners when introducing and evaluating target language functions.
