Annotation

This paper examines the important role that pragmatics is playing nowadays, not only as a young flourishing linguistic discipline, but also as an academic subject in most Spanish universities. Its significant contribution as a complement for foreign language students (particularly for EFL students), who need to consolidate their language learning process and their linguistic tools, justifies the inclusion of pragmatics -one of the latest scientific paradigms in language studies- in the new curricula dealing with languages that are being designed for the forthcoming Common European Framework. After teaching this subject for a number of years, we propose a syllabus for a university subject on pragmatics and offer a brief annotated bibliography that can be of use for the teaching of both the theoretical and practical issues related to the discipline. A selection of some of the supporting comments made by our university students after finishing their course on pragmatics is also included.
