This paper presents materials development projects that draw on pragmatics research to raise learners’ awareness of communication practices and develop interaction skills, including: (1) complaining in service encounters; and (2) answering questions in a doctor’s office. Handouts will include “how to” steps, sample materials, and key resources for teaching pragmatics.
