Eva Alcón, lecturer of English Language and Literature at the Universitat Jaume I, was in charge of imparting the plenary lecture of the 40th Conference of the Spanish Association for English and American Studies. The coordinator of the research group in Applied Linguistics to English Language Teaching focused on "The learning of pragmatics: vontexts of instruction and beyond the classroom". The congress, which took place from 9 to 11 November 2016 at the University of Zaragoza in Huesca, commemorated both the 40th anniversary of the association and the fourth centenary of Shakespeare's death.

Eva Alcón focused her intervention on the learning of pragmatics in different contexts, pointing out the benefits of teaching pragmatics in academic contexts. The UJI lecturer addressed the question of whether English as a foreign language in the classroom provides the theoretical conditions for pragmatic learning and reviewed some of the major researches conducted in multilingual settings to assess the extent to which pragmatic learning is limited by the nature of the intervention or students' individual variables.
