Abstract

Enunciation Theory and Pragmatics have been one of the most common research topics recently in the field of Teaching a Foreign Language. Pragmatic competence, as it is defined in CEFR, refers to the ability to comprehend, construct utterances which are accurate and appropriate to the social and cultural circumstances where communication occurs. It should be one of the leading goals of language teaching since students must know many pragmatics elements in the target language in order to avoid inaccuracies and misunderstandings during communication. Thus, it is crucial that the materials should be developed and designed in a way that they help learners improve their pragmatic competence. In this article, the notions of enunciation and pragmatics, their roles and contributions to teaching a foreign language are discussed thoroughly with reference to literature and a sample material is developed for learners of Turkish as a second/foreign language at A2 level.
