“…Teachers need to know and understand the field of pragmatics. The understanding of pragmatics is not a sub-discipline but is pragmatic in a practical sense, namely how to express good speech acts according to pragmatic principles, how to speak according to who speaks to whom, where, how and so on (Lu, 2019). What teachers also need to know is when to express messages through implicates.…”

“…Critical discourse analysis is assumed to be very relevant for analyzing information in the East Javanese Ludruk text. Through critical discourse analysis, students can show which information is useful for society, not only being able to choose information that is important to themselves (Lu, 2019). What is interesting to study here is the reality of the language used in conversations between characters and other characters in the East Javanese Ludruk text, which is formulated or formed in neutrality.…”

The East Java Ludruk show contains many moral values, and one of which contained in the East Java Ludruk text is the value of character education as the character building of the nation. This research aims to reveal moral values as the character building of the nation contained in the East Java Ludruk text by paying attention to linguistic (verbal and nonverbal) and non-linguistic (social, cultural, political, and religious) aspects by applying pragmatic learning based on critical discourse analysis so that character students can easily understand moral values found in the text of the East Jawa Ludruk. In addition, this research also aims to reveal that pragmatic learning in East Java Ludruk texts is also very important and needs to be understood by language teachers because the pragmatics emphasized in this study reveal good speech acts according to pragmatic rules, how to speak according to whom, to whom, where, and how. The results of this study indicate that human values related to the formation of the nation's character are found in the Ludruk text of East Java. In addition, the role of pragmatic learning in East Java's Ludruk text is also very important to facilitate language teachers in expressing good speech acts according to pragmatic learning rules.

“…In contrast with pragmatic competence which is mentioned previously, the inability to understand the message implied in communication is what is called pragmatic failure. Lu (2019) mentioned that pragmatic inappropriateness as a pragmatic failure in line with the idea proposed by Thomas (1983). Thomas (1983) proposed the idea that pragmatic failure is the inability to understand what is meant by what is said.…”

This research aimed to investigate the possibilities of pragmatic failure done by Indonesian EFL students through their translation. This study employed theories by Thomas (1983) and Muir et al (2011) to answer the research question coming along with the problem concerned. As mentioned by Natrio (2018) that Indonesian EFL students lack pragmatic competence because they don’t recognize the intention of one language transferring is inappropriate. This research used a descriptive qualitative method in collecting the data. The data were coming from students‟ performance in translating short dialogue texts which contained idioms in them. The instrument given was two-way translation, English-Indonesian, and vice versa. As the result, this study found that the respondents experienced pragmatic failure in their performance which happened in several types, namely pragma-linguistic failure and socio-pragmatic failure, both of which were found in all types of texts given. It was also found that the failure that happened in English-Indonesian text was higher in number compared to the other type of text in which in all the data found, the failure in English –Indonesian text translation is 161 while in Indonesian-English text translation is 139. On the other hand, this study also revealed that the factors of the students‟ pragmatic failure that happened in their translation performance were coming from both the pragmatic transfer which influenced by either their native, source language or their understanding and lack of linguistic proficiency.

“…Another aspect of translation competence is developing students' pragmatic competence in interpreting, understanding, and using language correctly and appropriately in a particular context to be able to communicate successfully and effectively (Lu, 2019). Lu classified pragmatic failure in interpreting into three categories: pragma-linguistic failure (when words and expressions are transferred from language A to language B without taking their pragmatic meaning into consideration); socio-pragmatic failure (when a translator misuses or misunderstands the social conditions associated with the language in use); and malaproppragmatic failure (interpreter's slips of the tongue or the wrong use of one word in place of another).…”

This article proposes a model for teaching interpreting for tourism purposes. It shows the aims of the model, interpreting materials, training strategies, training environment and assessment techniques. The model aims to train students to interpret in English with or without prior preparation or knowledge of the topic and without taking or reading form notes. The training model consists of the following exercises: (i) breathing exercises; (ii) memory training exercises; (iii) shadowing exercises; (iv) sentence paraphrasing; (v) summarizing sentences, then whole paragraphs about tourism; (vi) listening to single words, sentences, and a short paragraph about tourism and interpreting them; (vii) listening to familiar and easy tourism topics, then more difficult ones with a variety of tourism sub-topics. In a multimedia language lab, the students may listen to tourism podcasts, watch tourism documentaries or TED Talks and interpret the content from English to Arabic and vice versa. Simulations (role playing) of tourists and interpreters in teams of three or more may be conducted. Students may also visit a local tourist attraction, interpret, or give a commentary on-site. The training program objectives, types of interpreting, interpreting exercises, training materials, teaching and learning strategies and assessment techniques are described in detail.
