| Sumario: | This article analyzes the role of pragmatics in ELT (English Language Teaching) in the study of how students understand and use language in specific contexts. To become efficient and competent language users, students have to study more than linguistic forms and meanings. Exposure to language is insufficient for the acquisition of pragmatic skills, so observations of language learners show that there is a great need to teach pragmatics. The research focuses on the development of pragmatic competences that incorporate linguistic and cultural knowledge, and different reasons are presented to help students improve their pragmatic competence. This study has an experimental design and its main objective is to improve students' pragmatic competence in English. It was carried out in a mixed group of twenty students studying English at a university. Research results indicate that explicit focus on pragmatics in the classroom leads to improvements in pragmatic development. |
