Abstract

English is an international language and it was proved by many native and non-native speakers all around the world. It is also being considered the global language because it is the common means for interaction between various countries. The use of English as common language occupies an important place in the field of education in our country. It is very important that the learners of English should highly focus on the use of communication. The ultimate aim of teaching language is to develop the communicative competence. The communicative competence is considered an instrument used for communication, and pragmatics is the way in which meaning is conveyed through communication. Pragmatic competence refers to the ability to understand and convey the meanings which are more accurate and appropriate for the social and cultural circumstances in which the communication occurs. In short, pragmatics is about the culture and the communication. Though English is used in different levels of communication, the speaker must know many pragmatic elements, to develop the coherency and the ability to react in different situations. For that, development of pragmatic ability should be considered as one of the primary goals in the field of education.
