Instructor's Final Comments
“I hope this module has piqued your interest in pragmatics, a field that is rapidly expanding in the linguistics area, especially with regard to its applications to second language learning and teaching. Pragmatics information is vital to successful communication. It is fairly easy to see how pragmatics is quite relevant for our purposes in language teaching, and it is hoped that the recent research on pragmatics in different languages will greatly inform our future teaching practices. Thank you for your interest in pragmatics! May the (illocutionary) force be with you!
