The role of pragmatic competence in teaching Czech as a foreign language and social identity formation
Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2011, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
The authors of this text present the philosophical basis in which the relationship of communication and integration is seen in a new context. It deals with the tight involvement of language acquisition in the formation of social identity. Both are examined in the process of the development of pragmatic competence as the fundamental component of communicative competence. The alternative stance offered by the authors underlines and explains the major tendencies of foreign language teaching – to distance themselves from narrowly linguistic approach and to aim at communications thoroughly. At the end of the text, the authors introduce a hint of a possible research design that grasps the relationship between pragmatic competence and social identity.
