1.1.3 PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE

I think pragmatic competence is ability to use the language effectively in the context in an appropriate way. Pragmatic competence develops student’s ability to interpret meaning. The lessons that are organized focusing on developing this competence teaching students to survive in real life situations. That’s why without developing pragmatic competence, students become less motivated during the lesson activities. This competence provide students with hints that help them to communicate.

Most techniques has elements of pragmatic competence. During the lesson using these techniques students work together in groups, having different tasks.

With the help of pragmatic competence one can understand what people mean by their utterances than what the words or phrases in those utterances might mean by themselves.

Pragmatics is an ability to interpret and convey meaning in social context.

Once interlocutors understand each other’s intended meanings, even with grammatically incorrect sentences, the communication can be successful.
