THE ROLE OF PRAGMATICS FOR LEARNING ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
초록
This study investigates the role of pragmatics in the process of learning English and Uzbek as second and foreign languages. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from pragmatics and second language acquisition (SLA), we examine how learners’ mastery of context-dependent language use affects communicative competence. Using a mixed‑methods design—combining classroom observations, discourse completion tasks (DCTs), and learner interviews—we compare pragmatic development in two learner groups: ESL (English as a Second Language) and UFL (Uzbek as a Foreign Language). Results indicate that explicit instruction in pragmatic strategies significantly enhances learners’ ability to perform speech acts appropriately, with notable differences between the two learner populations. We discuss implications for curriculum design and teacher training in multilingual contexts.
