Abstract

Pragmatics is conveying the meaning through communication. This paper reviews the related research in the field of pragmatic competence and communicative competence. How to improve the communicative competence of second language learners has been a concern of scholars, and pragmatics is directly related to the communicative competence of second language learners, which is affected differently by different environments. Second language learners need to understand many pragmatic factors in order to avoid inaccuracies and misunderstandings in communication, so communicating with others requires pragmatic competence, which can help learners of English as a second language (Nivis, 2013)[1]. This paper shows the central importance of pragmatic competence to communicative competence. It also indicates the extent to which learned pragmatic competence affects second language learners’ communicative competence in-class and out-of-class settings. The goal of learning a language is communication and applying pragmatic competence appropriately in communication is a challenging task.
