Bringing pragmatics to second language classrooms
Edited by Jim Ronald, Carol Rinnert, Kenneth Fordyce and Tim Knight
This book is an extensive collection of 64 pragmatics-based lesson plans and activities for second language classrooms. It aims to make learners think about language-as-action while they practice using language in various sequential and situational contexts.
Many of the activities are designed for EFL or JSL classrooms in Japan, but they are adaptable to other language contexts as well. See the links below for some sample pages.
