subject: PR English literature
description: In many recent studies teachers and other professional educators in EFL circles highlight the  importance of teaching pragmatic competence as a vital part of language teaching curriculum. This  probably was the result of generations of learners of English language who completed their studies in the  foreign language with a relatively good general language proficiency but weaker skills to interpret the  messages and intentions that are conveyed in conversations, correctly. This particular competence is  referred to as pragmatic competence. This paper aims to overview most widely used techniques to teach  pragmatic competence in an EFL classroom as well as provide theoretical background for the concept and  closely related notions such as speech acts and politeness strategies.
