Abstract

The concept of pragmatic competency and how it affects language learning are examined in this article. The ability to use language successfully in social circumstances by comprehending and applying language usage that is acceptable for the given scenario, social expectations, and cultural standards is known as pragmatic competence. The article explains how pragmatic competence helps learners become more proficient in language generally, improves communication skills, and helps them navigate social situations more easily. It also looks at ways to include pragmatic competency in language learning, like role-playing exercises and clear teaching of pragmatic conventions. The article underscores the significance of pragmatic competence in language acquisition and underscores its function in cultivating proficient and self-assured communicators.
