TEACHING PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE
IN ENGLISH TO ARABIC-SPEAKING STUDENTS
Teaching English to Arabic-speaking students involves--or rather should involve--more than just familiarizing students with the sounds, vocabulary and grammar of the foreign language. It requires helping students use the language effectively, or at least in a social setting; i.e. it requires sociolinguistic or pragmatic competence. Although many linguists and English teachers realize the importance of such competence, little has been written on the nature of what must be taught or how teachers may go about helping students acquire it. In this paper we purport to attempt an approach to teaching pragmatic competence to our students, mainly through a role-playing/simulation approach. But before we set out to do this, we will first define the terms pragmatics, pragmatic competence, role playing, simulation, and speech act, which constitute the basic concepts used in the present paper.
I hope you read this research properly for I think it is most useful to anyone who claims to have the position of teaching English.
Hope you a nice reading.
