Opis

This study investigates the pragmatic competence of the Macedonian learners of English, or more precisely, Macedonian high school English learners views on and perceptions of pragmatics, their pragmatic competence in selected speech acts and the language learning strategies employed in the process of acquiring pragmatic knowledge. Taking into account that pragmatic competence is sometimes neglected in the classroom,the arguments presented in this paper may serve as a foundation for foreign language teachers in the process of helping foreign language learners to develop pragmatic skills in the target language. This paper would be also a great asset for those interested in studying second/foreign language from a practical aspect, i.e. individuals who develop language programs, foreign language professors as well as foreign language learners.
