Teaching pragmatics in a foreign language class and its importance in language learning

This article discusses the importance of the role of pragmatics in teaching and learning a foreign language. The issue of teaching pragmatics in a foreign language classroom is relevant today, as the younger generation who is learning a foreign language must be familiar with its language levels and rules of language use in order to learn and communicate successfully in social and academic environment. But often foreign language teachers are unable to present pragmatic ability in the classroom as long as there are shortcomings in how to teach pragmatics or they are not able to put it into practice sufficiently.
