Abstract
This article examines the role of technology in developing pragmatic competence in teacher training programs. It explores how digital tools and online communication environments support pre-service and in-service teachers in understanding and applying pragmatic principles, particularly speech acts, in classroom interaction. The study highlights how technologies such as video-based reflection, online simulations, and learning management systems enhance teachers’ awareness of language use in context. It argues that integrating technology into teacher education improves the ability to interpret and produce appropriate communicative actions, leading to more effective classroom discourse and learner engagement.References
