Abstract
Learning a foreign language means not only the cultivation of linguistic competence, but more importantly, the cultivation of pragmatic competence. Due to the poor pragmatic competence, pragmatic failures or even communication breakdown will be given rise to in real communication. The aim of this research is to investigate Non-English majors’ pragmatic competence and explore the corresponding methods in raising their pragmatic competence. The result shows that their pragmatic competence is still of low level. According to the weaknesses and problems, the present author proposes some pedagogical suggestions aimed at developing the non-English majors’ pragmatic competence.
