19 Objective of the Course: the aim of this course is to learn some of the notable theories (e.g. Speech Acts and Politeness Theory) in pragmatics and to understand the relationship between these theories and daily language use. It also aims to anable students to relate what they learned into EFL teaching. Another aim is to understand the studies about pragmatics and develop a critical stance.
20 Contribution of the Course to Professional Development Recent research in the field have shown that EFL education cannot be limited to vocabulary and grammar teaching. This course in the PhD programme highlights the importance of Pragmatics to motivate PhD candidates to analyse the literature from the perspective of researcher-teacher so that they can too contribute to the field. By doing this the study aims to increase the number of young researchers in the field.
