Context and language are in a reflexive relation in communication (Vaez-Dalili, Morsagh, & Shirzade, 2017). The role of shared knowledge and the organization of information in a context are indispensable parts of meaningful interaction. Accordingly, in this study recipient design, as a part of context, will be introduced via a literature review. Then, considering pedagogical goals, some suggestions will be made regarding how to incorporate context and the recipient design in second language classrooms and three pedagogical activities that can be used in second language classrooms will be provided.
