On Sociocultural and Pragmatic Dilemmas in TEFL: Reflection of Global Trends in Slovak Realities
Dr. Pavol Burcl, Dr. Marek Hampl
ABSTRACT:
This article reflects on the contemporary sociocultural and pragmatic dilemmas that accompany ongoing transformation efforts in TEFL through the optics of a Slovak teacher in Slovak realities. It examines various factors involved in the transition from traditional to a more open, inclusive, and communicative-based teaching-learning process. Specifically, it focuses on diversity, motivation, globalising/localising aspects, AI integration, technological substitution of teachers, and other sociocultural and pragmatic issues.
Keywords: Pragmatic Competence; Reformatting and Redesigning Teaching; Sociolinguistic Competence and Appropriateness; TEFL
