Enhancing Language Competence Through Pragmatic Approaches: An Investigation

Abstract

English is clearly a worldwide language, and its importance is greater than ever due to its broad use. Students must communicate in English both academically and professionally. A range of teaching styles are observed and applied to fulfil the unique learning demands of Indian students from various age groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultural backgrounds. Until the 1970s, the Grammar Translation technique was used to teach linguistic forms and structures with the purpose of improving grammatical competency through rule memorization in order to grasp the syntax of the second language.
