Abstract
Despite growing emphasis on the teaching of English as a language for intercultural communication, pragmatics tends to be underrepresented within English language teacher education programmes, especially at the primary level. This chapter will bridge theory and practice in relation to the incorporation of pragmatics in primary English language teacher education for teachers of upper primary. It first considers shifting understandings of the goal of teaching pragmatics and recent theoretical perspectives on pragmatic awareness that recognise intercultural dimensions of learning and using an additional language. It will then suggest how primary English language teacher education can develop pre-service and in-service teachers’ theoretical understanding of pragmatics and their pedagogical repertoire for raising the metapragmatic awareness of primary learners in a sensitive and developmentally appropriate way.
