Developing Pragmatic Competence of English Learners Through a Blended Learning Approach that Matches their Cognitive Styles

Abstract

This paper explores the development of pragmatic competence in English learners through a blended learning approach tailored to their cognitive styles. By combining traditional classroom instruction with online resources, the approach accommodates diverse learning preferences, such as visual, auditory, and analytical styles. The integration of real-life scenarios, self-paced learning, and peer collaboration in both online and face-to-face settings enhances learners' ability to use language appropriately in various social contexts.
