PRAGMATICS

Learning a language is learning to communicate. Therefore, learning English improves students' ability to communicate, both orally and in writing. Language as a means of communication is used in various functions and is presented in a meaningful context, not in the form of loose sentences. By being oriented towards a communication skill, language learning can also be approached through one of the fields of language studies, namely pragmatics. Learning language with a pragmatic approach is commonly called a communicative function with a number of functions. Pragmatics is a language study involving various aspects outside of language that can give meaning. The ability to study matters outside of language will certainly greatly help students in applying their language competencies practically in their real conditions. With a pragmatic approach, in language learning, it is hoped that students will be more able to actualize their language skills in everyday life in society. In addition, the demands of the latest curriculum also lead to a competency in students. Departing from the things mentioned above, this book discussed several things related to pragmatics and language teaching. This book is sufficient to discuss pragmatics and its types. This book is expected to be able to help students or students who are teaching pragmatics courses or who want to just know about pragmatics.
