RE: Tell us about yourself - [Mission]

Of course, it's about teaching Pragmatics in EFL context. Currently I'm conducting an experimental study over it ^^
Nice to see that there are a lot of teachers/instructors in Hive :)

I see Pragmatics in linguistics takes on a different meaning though!

Indeed 😌 It is a quite interesting area that I believe worth studying on

Meaning relies on the manner, place and time of an utterance.

That explains why when I teach the same poem with different groups of people, we have varying conversations.

Interesting. I was talking about the early days of pragmatism with my class just the other day. We can blame it for the different spellings between America and England - 'armor' as opposed to 'armour', or 'realize' instead of 'realise' - they were meant to be more 'practical' spellings.
