This conceptualization paper investigates ESL/EFT teachers and how they implement John Dewey’s pragmatic philosophy within elementary education. Research into pragmatism, especially in its applications within ESL and EFL, represents a significant avenue of investigation. Not only can ESL/EFL teachers use many of these principles in their pedagogical practices, but the philosophy itself offers a unique framework for researching this topic. The impact of pragmatism on student learning outcomes is explored, while concentrating on elementary education frameworks in Saudi Arabia. ESL/EFT teaching practices in general are also examined, researching pragmatically applied pedagogy within ESL/EFL teaching. Additionally, both challenges and opportunities for teachers’ professional growth are investigated, evaluating student learning. Finally, recommendations are made for the application of Dewey’s pragmatism within ESL/EFL teaching.
