TEACHING EUPHEMISMS AND TABOOS THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND MULTIMODAL RESOURCES: A LINGO-PRAGMATIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of digital platforms and multimodal resources in teaching euphemisms and taboos, employing a linguo-pragmatic framework. Euphemisms and taboos, as culturally sensitive linguistic phenomena, require nuanced pedagogical approaches to foster pragmatic competence. By integrating digital tools—such as interactive videos, virtual simulations, and discussion forums—this research examines their impact on learners’ understanding of socially delicate language. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews, was used to evaluate outcomes. Findings reveal that digital platforms enhance engagement, cultural awareness, and retention of pragmatic knowledge, though challenges like technical difficulties persist. These results offer insights for language educators seeking to leverage technology in teaching complex linguistic features.
