Spanish-Language Pragmatics: A Guide for Teachers provides Spanish instructors with a user-friendly introductory guide to teaching Spanish pragmatics and is designed to make it easier to implement pragmatics instruction in the classroom.

The book begins by discussing both the what and how, introducing the field of pragmatics and providing descriptions of various features of Spanish pragmatics that can be targeted in teaching. Instructors are presented with an approach to incorporating pragmatics into the language curriculum with specific teaching techniques and materials laid out. Spanish-Language Pragmatics is grounded in research and theory which is applied to the practice of teaching Spanish pragmatics in the classroom setting.

Both pre-service and in-service Spanish language instructors in secondary, tertiary, and community contexts who are interested in teaching pragmatics will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
