We would like to invite to our conference all those engaged in
research on school or academic teaching as a form of communicative
social action. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions from a wide
range of academic disciplines.
As early as the 1970s, the fields of linguistics and communication
studies underwent a transformation known as the "pragmatic turn,"
which manifested itself, for example, in the communicative approach to
(foreign) language teaching (cf. Piepho 1974). This shift was strongly
influenced by theoretical concepts that are now considered classical
in the field of pragmatics, including Grice’s (1989) theory of
implicature, speech act theory (Austin 1962; Searle 1969), various
strands of conversation analysis (e.g., Sacks et al. 1974), and, more
recently, usage-based approaches to linguistics. The focus on
linguistic communication as social interaction was by no means
confined to academia; rather, a pragmatic, competence-oriented
perspective has now been incorporated into school curricula in many
European countries (cf. for Germany, KMK 2022; for the Czech Republic,
the current version of RVP – see https://prohlednout.rvp.cz/).
This state of affairs in teaching methodology forms the backdrop for
the next conference in our LPPL pragmatics series, to which we
cordially invite you. Following the first conference (LPPL 2024;
https://www.lppl.zcu.cz/), which aimed to provide a broad overview of
current perspectives in pragmatic research, we now look forward to
contributions from research projects and practical applications that
investigate how pragmatic concepts, methods, and perspectives manifest
concretely in school and academic teaching and what potential they
hold for the further development of teaching concepts (cf.
Börjesson/Kristenson 2025; Frydrychová 2024).
Guiding questions that will structure our discussion and may serve as
orientation points for conference contributions include the following:
What consequences arise from viewing foreign language learning as the
acquisition of intercultural communicative competence?
Can pragmatic categories such as speech act type, indirectness,
conversation structure, etc., be utilized more effectively to analyze
classroom communication across various subjects (from mathematics to
foreign languages) and to develop approaches for its optimization?
Can pragmatic concepts contribute to the development and promotion of
specific linguistic-communicative competencies?
Can different instructional mediation strategies employed in the
classroom be evaluated from a pragmatics perspective in terms of their
efficiency? Which strategies have proven particularly effective in
which teaching situations?
What approaches does pragmatics offer for analyzing and further
developing digital teaching and learning communication forms?
About the Conference
Since we remain convinced that multilingualism also broadens
perspectives and fosters mutual inspiration in academic discourse —
and following our experiences at the LPPL 2024 conference — we aim to
provide a linguistically diverse space at our conference. Therefore,
we have designated German, English, Czech, and Slovak as the
conference languages. However, to ensure that this multilingualism
does not hinder discussions, we kindly request that presentations
include slides or handouts in a language other than the spoken
presentation (e.g., a presentation in Czech with slides in English) or
that they incorporate multilingual elements.
We look forward to receiving your submissions by August 31, 2025, via
Google Forms, including your presentation proposals along with a
detailed abstract of approximately 1,000 to 1,500 characters,
accompanied by a few relevant references. Until October 10, you are
welcome to sign up for the conference without a presentation.
