International PhDs about Pragmatics in Progress #1226

The importance of pragmatics can be seen in the work of graduate students from around the world. Our Forum features Anh Ton Nu, a Vietnamese teacher working on her PhD through Macquarie University in Australia. She is focused on including pragmatics in teacher education for Vietnamese high school teachers. The other panelist is Hind Baadache from the University of Biskra in Algeria, and she is investigating why students have difficulty making requests politely. For short, our forum can be called, PPP—Pragmatics in PhDs in Progress.
