Keynote Abstract:
Frankly there is a lot of confusion connected to the ideas of “realness” and “authenticity”. Taylor (1994) points out that “in many discussions it is not clear whether we are dealing with authenticity of language, authenticity of task, or authenticity of situation”. But if we unpack what is meant by “real” we notice that reality is experienced through the mediation of language. In other words, we create our own authenticity through social interactions, through our use of language. Which means the world outside the classroom is not intrinsically more “real” –it is the quality of our social interactions inside that classroom that may seem “unreal” when compared with the outside world. The real work of interaction in the classroom is very important. If we create our own authenticity through social interactions, through our use of language, a huge burden falls on the teacher to facilitate social interactions and to empower learners to interact authentically. This talk will encourage teachers to be more creative in the building or adapting of teaching materials to meet the unique needs of their own students.


Workshop Abstract:
Language teachers have long been aware of the devastating effect of learners’ grammatically correct, yet situationally inappropriate spoken or written communication. However, while native and expert speakers might have a strong sense of what constitutes appropriate speech, they require information on how to talk about what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate speech acts in different contexts. Most classroom teachers need access to relevant information about how speech acts are performed and need to know both the strategies and the grammatical forms generally employed, as well as how the social context (relationship to interlocutor, nature of the act) has been found to affect the choice of strategy/form and modifiers. They also need to be aware of variations in appropriateness norms among speech communities in general and in particular situations. They then need to be able to determine what to teach and what level or type of competence to target with their students.
Most importantly, they need access to effective materials and support for implementing the materials.

This workshop will provide information on how to talk about what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate speech acts in different contexts and suggest a range of activities to teach pragmatics in a classroom setting. Following a short explanatory introduction to the issues involved in teaching speech acts, workshop participants will experience several selected activities and be encouraged to adapt them for their own teaching situations. They will also be provided with a list of references and teaching resources, many of which are available on line.
