AUTHENTIC MATERIAL INTEGRATION: STRATEGIES FOR ELIMINATING PRAGMATIC TRANSFER ERRORS

Abstract

This research focuses on developing and implementing a methodology for using authentic materials to eliminate pragmatic errors among English philology students. The formation of pragmatic competence requires the ability to use language appropriately in cross-cultural contexts. The study presents strategies for identifying, analyzing, and correcting pragmatic errors through authentic video, audio, and textual materials. Results from a 16-week experimental study involving 170 students indicate that exercises based on authentic materials improve students' understanding and practical application of pragmatic features by 42%. The research employed Discourse Completion Tasks, role-play scenarios, and retrospective verbalization methods.
