“Actual Issues of Teaching Pragmatic Competences to English Language Learners in Uzbekistan”

Abstract

Traditionally, until recently, teachers in Uzbekistan mainly taught students language form and grammar rules, but language function and language use were at the bottom of their lists, sometimes even neglected. The results of recent research show that pragmatic competence cannot develop independently with grammatical competence. In other words, there is a big difference between language form and language function and language use.
