Developing Pragmatic Competence in a Foreign Language
Abstract
In a globalized economic world, it is inevitable that people will interact with foreigners. Since
English is used as a lingua franca, teaching methods for English as a second language have
been evolving year by year. Developing communicative skills has become the main focus of
English language teaching, as it allows individuals to effectively interact with people from
different cultures and backgrounds.
